An astonishing world of discovery is just waiting to be explored in the study of Chemistry.
Each Semester of Chemistry covers 16 weeks of material. This self-paced, rigorous, comprehensive 32-week course is the perfect introduction to this amazing study of matter from a Biblical Worldview. Chemistry comes alive in these fully illustrated PowerPoint presentations.
Dr. Daniel Korow DVM not only presents the key concepts and ideas related to Chemistry but draws from many sources creating a total package that integrates General Science, Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, as well as his experiences as a veterinarian.

A central focus of each class is to help your student: “Learn how to learn” and remember those facts and names that seem to be overwhelming. It is all about making Science understandable! Memorization may work on the short term to get that “A” on an exam, but memorization with understanding will last a lifetime!
Why Take Dr. Dan’s Chemistry Courses?

Dr. Dan has been an amazing teacher. I really appreciate all of the time and effort put into the self paced lessons. With all that I have going on as a Junior in High School it has allowed me to move along as I can. Dr. Dan is always very quick to respond to any questions I have and be willing to help me when necessary. I highly recommend Dr. Dan as a teacher and this course! Looking forward to the second half of the class. (Chemistry)

Veronica T: My son has been using Time4Learning for Chemistry and I don't feel enough explanation is given for him to successfully learn and understand the material. I would like to switch to your program. These are the areas he has studied so far: Matter Changes in Matter Elements, Cmpd, Mixtures Mixtures, Solutions Solutions, Solubility Atoms and Periodic Table Structure of Atom Historical Develop Atom Modern Atomic Theory Atomic # & Electron Config History of Periodic Table Electrons & Periodic Table Periodic Trends Chemical Bonding Types of Chemical Bonds Ionic Bonding Nomenclature of Ionic Cmpd Metallic Bonding Covalent Bonding Nomenclature of Covalent Bond Intermolecular Forces Chemical Reactions Evidence of Chem Reactions Writing & Balancing Chm Rctn Types of Reactions Oxidation-Reduction Balancing Oxidation-Reduction Eqn Do you think I could switch to your program? And do you have a suggestion on how to use your program without repeating topics? Or should I just do your program from the beginning? I'm assuming I can start your program at this time and have a certain amount of months to complete it before I lose access.
Great set of questions! I looks like your son has covered a large amount of Chemistry already. Do you feel like he is gaining mastery over what he\'s covered thus far. The difficulty in switching to a different curriculum is that there is bound to be repetition of topics. Many textbooks cover the same topics, but in a different order. The course I offer is college prep and puts a substantial emphasis on the math application. Is he struggling with any specific areas? An inexpensive option is to peruse Youtube and find material that is specific to his needs (Khan academy offers a host of options). The way our video library is set up is by topics. In a given week, we might cover 5 or 6+ topics. I believe the Lord gave me insight when we were video taping these session in that we have the videos divided up by topics, not just by major Chapter titles. A potential help would be for him to skip over material he already is grasping well and focus on the concepts, etc that are cloudy, confusing or frustrating. Chemistry Sem. 1 and 2 each have 16 modules per semester that are offered over a 20 week period. Students can start at any time. For students going at a slower pace, I have extended the time frame as needed at no charge. If your son has a real interest in Chemistry or is looking at this as a possible profession, this course may really solidify his understanding. I hope this helps. Blessings Dr. Dan BTW have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Meghann B: Hi Dr. Dan, I am a homeschooler myself and had a friend reach out to me, that is a mom of a public schooler, and is in need of a Chemistry Tutor for her high school daughter. Is this a service that you offer? I am trying to pass on a few resources for her to try. Thank you, Meghann Boothe
Thanks for the question. I am available. Your friend could contact my wife at 970-250 1274.
Sherry D: Good afternoon, I see that you teach Dr. Wile's Chemistry class in a semester. I am a homeschool mom who has gone through many of Dr. Wile's science books over the course of the recommended 32 weeks. However, this year I'm considering doing a couple of them in a semester time frame instead. Doing Advanced Chemistry first semester and Advanced Physics second semester. I'm wondering how you find the pace and workload doing it by semester vs. the full year? Thanks! Sherry
Hi Sherry
Thanks for the question. The Chemistry course I teach is also 32 weeks and consists of 2 Semesters of 16. Because his courses are comprehensive and very effective as college prep, I would hesitate in cramming a 32 week course into 16 weeks. I personally took accelerated Physics in college over the summer and because of the quick pace, we had tests on a daily basis and honestly long term retention suffered. Your child may be quite gifted and self motivated which would improve the likelihood that this would have some beneficial outcomes. Personally, having taught a variety of home-schoolers over the years, I still wouldn\'t recommend it. To me the goal is understanding and mastery of the subject material with Christ central to the teaching. Sorry for the lengthy answer. Hope this helps.

Jennifer B: My daughter, Josie, is interested in your self-paced chemistry class. Do you teach the first half of the book first semester, and the second half of the book the second semester? Also, do we just get the lab kit that goes along with Apologia Chemistry for your labs? Do you provide a syllabus so she knows the order of what to do every day? For instance, does she read the module all at once, or do you recommend breaking it up? Thank you so much; this is our first time using a Luma Learn class!
Hi Jennifer
Sorry I didn\'t see this message come through until now.
First semester we cover the first half of the book and the second semester finishes off the book. 8 chapters first semester, 8 chapters the second half.
The course is set up so that the reading assignment is posted each week along with class videos, lab videos, and quizzes. Although a specific syllabus isn\'t posted at the start, the sequence is provided each week.
I would recommend that you obtain the Chem kit, along with typical household supplies for each week like vinegar, baking soda etc. The lab supplies are listed on each lab handout. The labs are video taped and if possible Josie could do the lab as she views the lab videos. The PDF of the lab handout is provided so that you can print it.
If you have any questions along the way, I am available by email. For whatever reason, I receive my personal email real time, but the LL message board sometimes has a day or two delay which I can sometimes miss if I don\'t go back to check.
I hope that answered your questions.
Have a wonderful summer.
