    About

    Our homeschool chemistry videos teach the necessities of middle school chemistry, while preparing students for more advanced concepts. Each comprehensive lecture covers material from the Fundamentals of Chemistry Textbook. The Online Chapter Review Quizzes are included with the Fundamentals of Chemistry Video Course to help promote subject mastery.

    Fundamentals of Chemistry from Science Shepherd is a homeschool curriculum written by Dr. Scott Hardin. The comprehensive middle school course is presented in an easy-to-follow format that integrates textbook, lesson videos and labs to prepare students for higher level chemistry in the areas of data collection and standardization, atoms, bonding, organic chemistry and more. Students also learn how the observations of chemistry support biblical creation. With the supplementary teacher information provided in the Answer Key & Parent Companion, parents can be involved in their student's learning without needing to be a chemistry expert.
