Chemistry Video Tutorials

This page links to helpful videos per subject area for College Prep and Honors Chemistry. These videos come from the Khan Academy, a new math and science tutorial website. You can access videos and handouts that we use in class in the individual class pages above. The order that the Khan Academy presents its topics is not exactly the order in which we do ours, so there may be some things in the videos you may not understand just yet, but it's good to be exposed to it.
