Chem 101 - AP Edition
Duration: 20 Lectures + 10 Tutorials, 2 hours each
Time: Lectures - Monday and Friday at 6:30 PM PST , Tutorials - Every Wednesday at 6:30 PM PST, starting TBD
Instructor: Akshat Jha (website)

Targeted Age Group: Grades 9-12
Status: Registration Open
Description: Chem101 - AP Edition is meant to introduce students to chemistry and cover the AP curriculum while doing so. We begin by getting to know about the atomic structure and then build elements from atoms. Once we understand elements, we understand the process of building molecules. Molecules form matter and we visit the mathematical models that describe matter. Then, we discuss about energy! Chemical energy is the backbone of modern society and this module aims at equipping you with a basic understanding of energy phenomena. Our ride continues into the module of equilibrium and answer how much a reaction produces. Then we answer how fast a reactions proceed. We end this course by putting our knowledge to a test and thinking about several uses of chemical reactions. Join us as we explore some of the biggest questions humanity has answered.
