Mastering Chemistry Is A Cakewalk!

Overview of Course

Fundamental Chemistry: Matter and Measurement was designed to produce a simple learning experience for the student. Unlike other courses, we have put together a comprehensive overview of the major topics in this section to best prepare you in your study of chemistry.

The course is divided into 6 major sections: an introduction to definition in chemistry, classifying matter, properties of matter, measurement in science, significant figures, and dimensional analysis or factor-label method. 

Each major section ends with several lessons on problem solving to coach you through the most typical questions you'll encounter in your classes. Suitable for any beginner, high school, advanced placement (AP), and introductory college levels, Fundamental Chemistry: Matter and Measurement is also a great way to refresh the basics while prepping yourself for exams.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginners
  • HIgh school students
  • AP (Advanced Placement) Chemistry students
  • College students (introductory chemistry level)

Welcome! My name is Alex, the name behind Cakewalk Science.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biology and I am currently pursuing a Master's in Epidemiology from an Ivy League institution.

With a background extensive in science and medicine, I was unofficially the go-to girl for tutoring in those subjects throughout high school and college. I love subjects in sciences, and learning them well has helped progress my education and career. But more than anything,
helping people realize science is enjoyable and easy to learn is where my passion lies.
