Getting Started with Our Friendly Chemistry: Laying the Foundation Homeschool Science Course

Joey Hajda, a homeschool parent of ten and 25-year teacher in public schools, community college, and homeschool, presents the Friendly Chemistry homeschool science course to educate and share the enthusiasm for science that he and his wife share. This Friendly Chemistry curriculum can build a solid foundation for more advanced chemistry classes, if the homeschool student continues their study of chemistry, while presenting chemistry in a way that is not hard or intimidating. Teens study the elements, atoms, electrons, and ions. They are introduced to determining charges on ions and to quantum mechanics.
