Biochemistry Literacy for Kids

I've just completed my new Biochem 2.0 Unit 1, which is a huge step up in quality and depth from my earlier course. You have to experience it to really appreciate how nice these are, so feel free to check out the last section of this new 8 hour course.

Biochemistry Literacy for Kids — Lesson 10.4: Polyester Plastic Welcome to Biochemistry Literacy for Kids! This is the last few minutes of the new Biochem 2.0 Unit 1, but it's only the beginning of the rest of the course.…

I'm almost done recording the first unit of the Biochem 2.0. This will be around 8 hours of video and will be the first in a total revamp of the program. It replaces lessons 1, 2, and 5, but goes much deeper. You can buy it now! https://biochemistryliteracyforkids.com/biochem-2-0-lessons/

Watch the first few minutes of my new Biochem 2.0 course. Today, this new 3 hour course went live, which is a much improved entry into the program. Soon I will be replacing more parts of the classic program with Biochem 2.0.

If you're looking to start my program, please check out Biochem 2.0. This is the beginning of a super-improved version if the course, complete with photos of all the models! You will be very impressed. The next 5 lessons will be online soon, which will complete a stand alone 10-lesson course that also replaces lessons 1, 2, and 5 of the original program. It is aligned to NGSS elementary standards, and should be accessible to absolutely any kind of student, given the even higher level of support from the videos, and a really great workbook. Beginners should start with this program, but even experienced users will find that there's a lot of new material in these lessons. Please share!

Short notice, but for anyone with a beginner who is interested in a live Zoom class, I have a special topics medicinal chemistry class happening starting tonight for the month of March. Check it out if you are interested! This is not geared to advanced kids, but more tailored to kids who are just starting the program.

Tuesday Special Introductory Topics - BIOCHEMISTRY LITERACY FOR KIDS Classes meet Tuesdays at 7:45pm Eastern, March 4, 11, 18, and 25. We will cover a variety of medicinal chemistry topics with an emphasis on model building skills, chemical drawing interpretation, and structure/function connection, and computer modeling. This class is great for beginners who want to....

One of my long-time Zoom students won 3M! As these kids get older, we'll continue to see them leading in many fields. Amazing work, Sirish!

Check out the recording of the panel discussion that featured 3 students from the Biochemistry Literacy program. This was part of Schrodinger's Educator's week. The kids did an amazing job!

2024_06_14_SchrodingerPanelCutDownV1 This is "2024_06_14_SchrodingerPanelCutDownV1" by David Gaynes on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

We had an awesome panel discussion during Schrödinger's Educator's week, which included David Gaynes, the director of the Biochemistry Literacy Documentary, Ash Kaluarachchi, CEO of StartEd, and my awesome Zoom students Barjor, Ellie, and Carolyn who did an amazing job taking about their experience learning biochemistry. I can't imagine what it must have been like to present at an international science conference in 5th grade!
