Description
In the second semester of high school chemistry, students will dive into topics such as thermodynamics, equilibrium, and acid-base chemistry, gaining a deeper understanding of the principles governing chemical reactions. This is the second semester of two semesters.
High School Chemistry is a fast-paced course where we will dive deep into chemistry topics. This course will prepare students to go on to take AP Chemistry.
Some courses are taught in collaboration with Outschool (noted below) and prices/payment is through Outschool. We are a secondary provider and do not have access to Outschool payment systems. Pricing may be slightly different due to Outschool subscription costs.
Self-Paced Option
Self-paced recorded courses can begin at any time throughout the year! We can set up the course starting on the first or third Sunday of any month.
To set up, or discuss self-paced courses, contact us at admin@hypatiastem.com or through our contact form! We look forward to learning with you.
