About
Friendly Chemistry is a high school chemistry program written by Dr. Joey Hajda, a research chemist, and his wife Lisa. The curriculum uses conversational explanations, analogies, and games — including the Molar Express card deck — to teach a full college-prep chemistry course, including stoichiometry, gas laws, solutions, and acid-base chemistry. The program includes a teacher text, student text, workbook, and laboratory manual, with an optional lab kit. It is typically chosen by families wanting a rigorous but low-intimidation alternative to textbook-heavy chemistry programs.
