Chemistry Series for extra help during school year

Starts

This series is for extra assistance in chemistry topics. We will be following the AP Chemistry curriculum as on Khan Academy, but it is not only for AP Chemistry (more on that below). Sessions are about 2 hours and roughly 2-3 days a week and always on either Monday, Thursday, or Saturday @ 3:30 P.M. EST (Eastern Time). You will be required to attend all meetings.

For background: I scored a 5 in AP Chemistry and I have previously self-studied Organic Chemistry 1. I am a tiny bit rusty, but I will try my best to help you.
I will cater to all levels of education in chemistry, although I highly recommend that you have taken Algebra 1 or higher and passed. ⚗️🧪⚛️

**Note: I will add sessions after each one is completed to assess whether it is wise to have an extra session on the topic discussed or not.

🏅Learn Science Olympiad Forensics from a National Competitor!!

Starts

Welcome!

My name is Daniel Chen. I have participated in science olympiad since middle school, and first competed at the national competition as a high school freshman after making it onto my school's varsity team. I made it off of two events, fossils and forensics! Although I have done well in fossils, I am honestly more passionate and excited about forensics, which is why I am teaching this course!

This workshop will consist of at least 18 total sessions, going into most school years. Each session we will cover a specific topic of forensics, from powders to fibers to fingerprints.

Sessions will be held each week on Tuesdays from 4:30 to 5:30 PM EST. Sessions will typically be held to be about 1 hour long although I will usually be perfectly fine with going over if we need to cover some more material, or if there are questions.

Attendance is all up to you! I understand that school can be very stressful, and the mandatory attendance is not ideal. While it is 100% your choice for how you would like to attend sessions, keep in mind that lacking knowledge in some specific parts can be difficult to keep learning down the course, so I would recommend attending the sessions as much as possible.

Here is a full outline of the list of topics we will cover:
Powders
Plastics
Fibers
Hairs
Chromatography
Mass Spectrometry
Fingerprints
DNA
Glass
Entomology
Blood
Seeds and Pollen
Tracks and Soil
Bullet Striations
Analysis
Cheat sheet making
Test Strategies and Planning

Note that some of the topics may require more than one day to fully teach and understand, and that more sessions will be added as the series commences to accommodate for the following topics.

Of course, this course will be very comprehensive, which is why, as science olympiad also allows, we will be making our very own cheat sheet! A cheat sheet, for those who don't know, is a standard letter size paper filled to the brim with information that science olympiad allows competitors to bring and use on tests! When we make our very own cheat sheet, we will pack it with vasts amount of information; for reference, my cheat sheet is currently about size 3.5-4.

Video recordings of lab demonstrations may also be shown later on in the course.

I hope you enjoy your stay at this Science Olympiad Forensics course, and I wish you the best of luck, detective!

Rules (taken directly from 2015 + 2025 SciOly):

🧪 The competition will consist of a series of task focused in the areas of kinetics and chemical reactions/stoichiometry. These tasks could include hands-on activities, questions on listed topics, interpretation of data (e.g., graphs, diagrams, tables) or observation of an establish and running experiment.

🧪 Nomenclature, formula writing, & stoichiometry (mole conversion & percentage yield) are essential of chemistry & may be included in the event. Participants are expected to know the symbols & charges for: nitrate, carbonate, phosphate, acetate, sulfate, ammonium, bicarbonate, & hydroxide. Participants should know how to use the "ite" form of anion (one less oxygen than the "ate" form). With a periodic table, participants should be able to obtain charges for monatomic ions (e.g., Na+, S2-).

🧪 Participants should understand the following about chemical reactions/stoichiometry:
- Classification of reaction type
- Balancing Reactions
- Reaction Prediction (including predicting products of metathesis reactions, solubility, oxidation-reduction, total and net ionic equations)

🧪 Participants should understand the following about kinetics:
- Measuring reaction rates
- Identify how and why reaction conditions (temperature, concentration, particle size, and catalysts) affect reaction rates
- Determine rate laws from actual experimentation or data provided
- Determine rate constants with actual units

AP Chem Run-through Series

3rd session

Hi! I was a 5 scorer and A+ student in AP Chemistry :) I never took an honors, advanced, or gen ed chemistry, so for those who maybe don't remember a lot from or did poorly in chem before: don't worry! I'm prepared for that. I tutored classmates through Science National Honors Society throughout the year, and I'm happy to bring my work to Schoolhouse :)
I will focus most on connections, explanations, applications, and FRQ styled questions, because once you've got the FRQ down, I believe that the MCQ comes naturally.

Chemistry Olympiad Summer-Fall Prep

4th session

Hey guys! My name is Dhruhi I'm excited to work with all of you this summer + fall. As a Chemistry Olympiad participant for over 3 years, I noticed that there were few free Chemistry Olympiad Prep Courses that covered questions above the AP chemistry level so I decided to create this course for all of the talented high school and middle school students in the world that are preparing for the Chemistry Olympiad.

That being said this course will be rigorous and an honors chemistry background is required (reading the Zumdahls textbook would be sufficient to take this class).

In the first class, we will take a diagnostic exam so I can survey the group's proficiency in certain topics.
Generally, each week, we will have a learning objective. The session will start with a 10-20 minute lesson on the topic. Based on the scores, we will do 40-50 minutes of targeted group practice (on Khan Academy AP Chemistry Problems, online Chemoly practice, and official Chemistry Olympiad practice test questions).

Throughout the series, I will provide free resources that you can study from including my own notes, tips, online study guides, practice questions etc and always feel free to message me with any chemistry questions :)

Near the end of the series, we will try taking half and then full length practice exams to assess our growth + check the need for additional Q&A sessions.

As a final note, I am happy to take more learners mid-series but they may have to cover some of the previous material independently.

Happy Studying 📖🧪⚛️!
