This course took place during the pandemic, at the time I recorded demo videos for students to see experiments. See below:

Honors Chemistry Teaching Assistant

High School Honors Chemistry - 2015-2016 Academic Year

Etiwanda High School

During my senior year of high school, I co-taught an honors chemistry course, where I prepared and conducted interactive demonstrations of chemical reactions. I delivered several lectures on various chemistry topics and recorded a few demonstrations, making them available online for students to view. See below:
