Biochem 2.0 - Panorama - Intro to the Chemical World

About the Course

Panorama features 8-hours of video and workbook, modeling, and lab activities. It is the best way to begin the Biochemistry Literacy for Kids experience. The duration of this course depends on the level and age of the student, but it provides a rich foundation for learning that is both accessible to everyone and engaging for even advanced learners. Young learners will be amazed at how quickly they learn advanced concepts, and older learners will be surprised by connections that they never new existed. Check out the first lesson video here. Topics are listed below and in a more colorful format on this page. This unit is meant to set the stage for later study both in my courses and elsewhere.
