Preparing Your Teen for Chemistry and Physics Over The Summer

Send a textIf your teen is heading into chemistry or physics in the fall, and they’re feeling unsure about their math or science foundation, this episode is for you.In this episode of Teaching High School Science, I’m breaking down exactly what your teen should review over the summer to start the school year strong, confident, and ready to keep up with the fast pace of high school science. Whether they missed a few concepts in middle school or just need a refresher, I’ll walk you through the key math and science skills they’ll need for success in both chemistry and physics.You’ll learn:What foundational chemistry topics to brush up on (like atomic structure, the periodic table, bonding, and dimensional analysis)Why algebra skills matter so much in both subjects—and how to practice them nowWhat physics concepts students should know before starting the year (including motion, forces, and basic trig)How just a few weeks of targeted summer review can make a huge difference in confidence and performancePlus, I’ll share how my live summer science camps on OutSchool are designed to fill in these gaps, boost your teen’s confidence, and help them walk into class ready to thrive—not just survive.🎧 Tune in to hear how to turn summer into a season of preparation, not panic.📌 Link to the Chemistry Summer Camp class info and schedule📌 Link to the Physics Summer Camp class info and scheduleThanks for tuning in!
