Why take this course?
By choosing our curriculum, students will develop a strong foundation in chemistry, enabling them to excel in further studies. Our engaging and comprehensive approach ensures that students not only grasp the concepts but also develop a genuine interest and appreciation for the subject.
Comprehensive Coverage
Dr. G’s curriculum covers all the essential topics of high school chemistry, providing a thorough foundation in the subject.
Structured Learning Path
The curriculum is organized in a logical and sequential manner, ensuring a smooth progression of concepts and skills.
Engaging and Interactive Content
We employ a variety of multimedia resources, including videos, simulations, and interactive exercises, to make learning chemistry exciting and accessible.
No Algebra Pre-Requisite
Dr. G Science is primarily focused on the concepts rather than the "hard math". Algebra 1 is not required for this course, only the abilty to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Dr. G explains all other math necessary as part of the course.
Experienced Instructor
Dr. G has taught at multiple levels from elementary school through college, he understands the benefit of making tough scientific concepts accessible to students
Flexibility and Accessibility
Being an online curriculum, it offers the flexibility to learn at one's own pace, anytime and anywhere, making it an ideal choice for homeschooling

Understand the principles of energy transfer in chemical reactions (thermochemistry)
-
Investigate electrochemical processes and their applications
My daughter really likes this class. Dr. Gifford does a good job at breaking it down in a way that she understands it but then pushes his students to think a little bit harder in his practice problems. I like that he changes the practice problems a bit from his classroom examples so she has to think instead of just following a formula.

I honestly wished I had Dr. Gifford as a chemistry teacher throughout my school career. He turns complicated and dense material into FUN and engaging topics. My daughter LOVES to retell his chem jokes.

Dr Gifford explains well the concepts taught in his courses. He does examples and shows how to do them step by step. Great chemistry classes to take!
