Description
In the first semester of high school chemistry, students explore fundamental concepts such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, and the periodic table to understand the building blocks of matter.
High School Chemistry is a fast-paced course where we will dive deep into chemistry topics.
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 membership 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 next Sunday.
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.
