Chemistry concept taught by Derrick
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.

Abbreviated Electron Configuration
Balancing Chemical Equations
Parallel Structure (Grammar)
Process of Elimination
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.

On August 15, 2025, Derrick provided a comprehensive chemistry lesson to a student from Durham. The lesson covered foundational topics such as metric systems, scientific notation, significant figures, matter, states of matter, and phase changes. Derrick thoroughly explained concepts like intensive and extensive properties, using practical examples like water and neon to illustrate how temperature influences a substance's state. Additionally, the learner received valuable ACT prep, with a focus on English grammar and effective test-taking strategies.
