Grade 10 Chemistry — Understanding Matter, Reactions, and Atomic Structure

The Grade 10 Chemistry Tutoring Program introduces students to atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions. Following the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), this course helps students understand the composition of matter, its transformations, and the role chemistry plays in everyday life.

Core Learning Areas

• Atomic structure and periodic trends.
• Chemical bonding — ionic, covalent, and metallic.
• Balancing chemical equations.
• Law of conservation of mass and stoichiometry.
• Acids, bases, and pH measurement.
• Basic thermochemistry and reaction energy.

Teaching Methodology

Tutors use virtual labs, visual modeling, and interactive simulations to make chemistry accessible and engaging. Real-world examples connect theory to environmental, biological, and industrial contexts.

Goal

The goal of Grade 10 Chemistry is to strengthen scientific literacy and prepare students for advanced courses like AP Chemistry or Environmental Science.
