  1. Hi Grace,

    I teach the math right along with the science, and there’s really not that much math involved with Chemistry. In Advanced Physics, you’ll find both algebra and calculus calculations with explanations right along with what we’re doing during the problems and the experiments, so it’s all in there.

    When you ask about kJ/E6/E-6, are you referring to scientific and engineering notation with numbers?

    Aurora, my son is doing grade 10 math this year but we are still finishing the last 3 units of grade 9 while deciding to study chemistry. How much of these formulas does he need to understand and be able to work with in chemistry to complete this course. I think you’ve covered the basic conversions clearly enough but when you get into the KJ/E6, E-6, etc, it gets confusing because we do not have any background in this areas. Math isn’t my son’s strength so we have to work really hard at it. THis got confusing.
