1.1 Introduction to High School Chemistry and Matter | High School Chemistry

This is the first lesson in a High School Chemistry full course. If you are looking to supplement your high school chemistry class or if you are looking for online high school chemistry videos for your home school student, we are here to help. The course is broken up into 16 chapters with a total of 60 high school chemistry lessons covering every subject taught in a typical high school chemistry course.

In this first lesson, Chad provides an introduction to chemistry and matter. This includes a variety of concepts and vocabulary we use in describing matter including the following:

-the phases of matter (or states of matter)
-chemical properties and changes vs physical properties and changes
-elements vs compounds
-pure substances vs mixtures
-homogeneous vs heterogeneous mixtures
-intensive vs extensive properties

Happy Studying!

What a phenomenally gifted teacher. I'm not even a student anymore. Just someone who managed to avoid taking chemistry and physics in high school and college (out of fear). The guilt and curiosity has haunted me ever since. I've already learned so much from this introduction and am fascinated! I'm going to work my way through each video.

Thank you, I have to pass a college-level chemistry course as a 50-year-old!! Super appreciate this! Going to watch all your videos and purchase the premium course.

Never took chemistry in high school, and I’ve been curious ever since. Thanks for this

I love the fact that people like you have the initiative to teach people this stuff! I absolutely love the way you teach. This actually made my chemistry grades increase with 25% <3

I start college in 2 months for environmental engineering. I'm 30 years old and dropped out of high school, never took chemistry. I have to take it for my college courses.
You are a life saver! I wanted to get a rough catchup before I start college courses and I'm glad I found this. Part of my next 2 months is getting through all 60 of these videos lol

[harddiskkosong]

Great introduction to chemistry. Never passed any chemistry exam in school but now I'm here. Hopefully I could have fun with chemistry irl.

Excellent timing, both with the release of this course right at the start of the school year....and with your "lame" jokes. :) Looking forward to the rest of the series! Thanks for making them!

Really thankful to God for this video! Thanks Chad 💙

[muhammadsarmadhussain]

Thank you for these videos! You really are great at covering toopics in a short amount of time!

[patriciaboiko]

Thank you. As a female chemistry major in the 1970's, I loved everything about Chemistry. I appreciate that you posted this class. When you update it, could you please make PChem and Organic Chem more enticing and not so scary. I meet high school girls these days who are still afraid of Chemisty.

Me watching this even though im a freshman

[VeryBeri]

This is great. My daughter is taking chemistry next year. I plan to have her watch your videos over the summer to give her a head start.

[lovet]

Love your teaching, You just got a new subscriber.

[lazyjaney]

My daughter will be taking AP Chem the next academic year (10th grade) without a high school chem background, so I'm glad that I found your channel for her to learn over the summer while she studying her first 2 AP chem units by herself. I too can watch your videos to review, so I could help her just in case she needed.

[beware.kai_bites]

I love your teaching so much!! You explained everything so well and made it super easy to understand<33 I'm an 8th grader from Egypt and I dream of attending stem school and I'm trying to learn more abt all the subjects I have to study at school to help ease everything if i did end up attending it :] I truly appreciate your efforts in making this course it's really helpful<3

[JodyBrownIV]

Wow ur a really good teacher! Im gonna save this playlist to prep for gen chem AND use your gen chem playlist to get ahead when I start Gen chem.

[starlia]
