Chemistry 101 for Adult Learners

Chemistry 101 for Adult Learners is a practical, confidence-building introduction to atoms, reactions, solutions, energy, and everyday chemistry with Professor Nathan Ward. This Science course helps adult learners build real understanding without unnecessary stress, using clear explanations, everyday examples, and step-by-step problem solving.

Build Confidence With Everyday Chemistry

• Learn the foundations of Science through matter, evidence, measurement, and chemical change.
• Understand atoms, elements, isotopes, bonding, formulas, and the periodic table in a practical way.
• Practice reactions, balanced equations, moles, stoichiometry, solutions, acids, bases, gases, and energy.
• Connect chemistry to food, medicine, cleaning, the environment, and other everyday applications.

Chemistry 101 for Adult Learners gives you a clear, practical path into core chemistry concepts and applied Science.

This course is designed for adults who want to understand chemistry from the ground up, whether for personal growth, career preparation, school readiness, or everyday curiosity. Professor Nathan Ward guides you through the language and logic of chemistry, beginning with how chemists think about matter, evidence, measurements, units, and scientific notation.

You will then explore atomic structure, the periodic table, ions, electrons, ionic and covalent bonding, molecular shape, polarity, and intermolecular forces. As the course progresses, you will learn how to read and write chemical formulas, name common compounds, balance equations, use the mole, calculate molar mass, and approach stoichiometry with more confidence.

The lessons also cover solutions, concentration, dilution, acids, bases, pH, gases, energy in chemical change, reaction rates, chemical equilibrium, organic molecules, biochemical molecules, and chemistry in food, medicine, cleaning, and the environment. By the end of Chemistry 101 for Adult Learners, you will have a stronger Science foundation and a more confident ability to connect chemical concepts to real problems and daily life.
