Chemistry of Life – A Foundation in Biology for High School

This course, Chemistry of Life, is designed to equip parents, guardians, educators, and academic support providers with the tools and knowledge needed to guide learners through foundational chemistry topics that underpin biology. Aligned with the syllabi of international high school boards—including AP, CIE, Edexcel, AQA, and IB—this course serves as a comprehensive resource for supervising and enhancing student learning.

Please note: This course is intended for adult purchase and supervision only. It is designed to support parents and guardians in assisting students under 18 with their academic studies. Learners under 18 should only access the course under the direct supervision of an adult.

Through this course, supervising adults will gain the ability to help students:

• Understand the fundamentals of chemistry in biological systems
• Explain chemical bonding and molecular interactions
• Explore organic and inorganic compounds in living organisms
• Describe the biological roles of inorganic ions
• Understand the properties and significance of water in life processes

The course features structured, easy-to-follow lectures enriched with visual aids, real-life examples, and step-by-step explanations. It emphasizes conceptual understanding—focusing on not just what happens in biological systems, but also how and why it happens.

Whether you’re a parent guiding a student through homeschool, a tutor offering extra support, or simply someone passionate about the sciences, this course offers a solid foundation to facilitate effective and engaging learning in the life sciences.
