Experience dynamic teaching methods with a chemistry tutor from the University of Louisiana.

The Tutor and Student practiced drawing Lewis structures for various covalent compounds, focusing on applying the octet rule and understanding valence electrons. The Student worked on mastering the drawing aspect of Lewis structures, including single, double, and triple bonds. VSEPR theory was identified as a topic for future review.

The Tutor and Student reviewed periodic trends, focusing on atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy. They discussed how these properties change across periods and down groups and the Student demonstrated an understanding of these concepts. The Student was encouraged to avoid rote memorization and focus on understanding the underlying principles.

An instructor guided a student from The Woodlands High School through a chemistry lesson focused on electron configurations. They practiced both standard and abbreviated notations and worked on identifying elements based on their configurations. The lesson also included a review and practice of balancing chemical equations. While no specific homework was assigned, the student is preparing for an upcoming quiz on electron configurations.

The learners worked on balancing chemical equations, starting with basic examples and moving to more complex ones, including those with polyatomic ions. One learner also reviewed nuclear chemistry concepts related to homework. To better tailor future lessons, a syllabus was requested by a student who attends Marymount University in Arlington, who also mentioned an upcoming unavailability next Thursday.

Derrick and Mahid recently engaged in a chemistry lesson, where they reviewed mole conversions, stoichiometry, and dimensional analysis. Mahid actively practiced converting between grams, moles, and atoms, and adeptly used mole ratios to convert between different substances within a chemical reaction. Derrick also provided a helpful recommendation for Mahid to get a better calculator for future ACT prep and chemistry work.

Derrick guided Mahid through a comprehensive lesson covering ACT English strategies, density calculations, and the phase changes of matter. Mahid actively practiced identifying correct verb tenses, applying the density formula, and interpreting phase diagrams. Their next chemistry lesson is scheduled to delve deeper into the properties of matter.
