Dr Dan’s Chemistry Semester 1

START ANYTIME!

An astonishing world of discovery is just waiting to be explored in the study of matter better known as Chemistry.

Both courses of Chemistry (Semester 1 and 2) are self-paced, comprehensive, and combined, total 32 weeks of instruction. They are the perfect introduction to the subatomic science of matter from a Biblical Worldview. In each Chemistry Science course, Dr. Daniel Korow DVM presents the key concepts and ideas that makes Chemistry truly fascinating! He 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.

In addition, Dr. Dan’s Chemistry will help your student : “Learn how to learn” and remember those facts and names that seem to be mind boggling. This course is designed to make Science understandable. Memorization may work on the short term to get that “A” on an exam, but understanding and mastery of the material will last a lifetime!

Did you know?

Many of our local home schoolers using the Exploring Creation with Chemistry, 2^nd Edition also complete the “On Your Own” questions in the text book as well as the Apologia’s self-tests in the Chemistry Test & Solutions book. Those homeschoolers are well prepared for later exams, testing and real-time use of their Chemistry knowledge!

When both semesters are taken, they offer one high school credit.
