This course is designed to be a supplement for high school chemistry students who miss the chemical equations unit. However, this could be used as a true online course as well. Some of the programs I will be using throughout the module are purchased by my school district. If others were to reuse this learning module, I am sure there are other programs that could be used to supplement the programs like Mastery Manager and Google Classroom. I have not entered in codes for the Mastery Manager Quizzes because those would be unique to the student and course that the student was enrolled in. Students will be able to see their scores and results from the Mastery Manager Learning Targe quizzes and unit test as soon as they submit the test. All of the assignments would be posted and completed in Google Classroom.

Get in touch with a local chemist!
Before you contact your chemist, please write out a list of 10-15 questions that you will ask the chemist. You can connect with the Chemist via email, google hangout, or through a phone call. Some questions to consider are the following:
What type of chemistry are you researching?
Is there anything in regular chemistry I am learning about now, that you use everyday at your job?
Do numbers really matter when measuring volumes and masses?
Don't forget to ask about the person and his/her background!
You will have the ability to compile the information in any manner that seems fit for you. You can use a Google Doc, Google Slide, Drawing etc. Please sumbit interview into Google Classroom.
Some ideas of where to look for a chemist- Abbot, Dow Chemical, any college professor who teaches chemistry or any teacher at LHS who use to work in the industry.
