Syllabus

Measurement, Units & Dimensional Analysi

In this lesson, students build the mathematical foundation for all of chemistry. We focus on SI units, metric prefixes, and dimensional analysis so students learn how to set up problems correctly—eliminating guesswork and careless errors. This lesson alone often leads to immediate test score improvement.

Scientific Notation & Significant Figures

Chemistry calculations require precision. In this lesson, students learn how scientists communicate measurements accurately using scientific notation and significant figures. We focus on rules, common mistakes, and step-by-step problem setup to build confidence with chemistry math.
