Well, it’s a start anyway. A quick summary of chemistry in its proto-science days (as alchemy) and then an explanation of Lavoisier’s, Proust’s, and...

These lessons will provide most of what is covered in a typical introductory chemistry class. Bring your enthusiasm and let’s learn some chemistry!
Almost too much for one lesson. We will define specific heat capacity (or just specific heat) and use it to demonstrate how units should work out. We will differentiate...
An ambitious introduction to the chemical perspective on chemistry. We will use energy to practice unit manipulation, differentiate heat and temperature, and endothermic...
Density is a great topic in chemistry because it hits so many important ideas: measurement, graphing, intensive & extensive properties, identification, etc...
Want to separate the constituents of a relationship for your own gain? Then find a difference between the components and exploit it! Here are five techniques to get you...
One of the great stumbling points of the typical chemistry student is correctly distinguishing mixtures from compounds. But you are no typical chemistry student since...
The ultimate organizational tool: the matter classification tree (root system?). Not only will we differentiate pure substances and mixtures, but we will sub-classify...
Do you have mass? Volume? Then you MATTER. We define some terms that matter when you’re talking about matter, including a differentiation of states of matter and...
Chemistry involves a lot of converting between different units. Factor-label (aka dimensional analysis) is a no-nonsense way to easily set these up every time. Ignore at...
Now that you know how to read significant figures off a scale, you’ll need to use them properly in math problems. The days of rounding your answer to whatever...
