This no-prep paper AND digital paperless chemistry curriculum is all of the notes, labs, activities, practices, homework, projects, quizzes, and tests you need to teach an entire year of chemistry in your high school Chemistry 1 course.
Every major chemistry unit is covered and listed below. Everything is provided for two levels – CP and Honors. This is an excellent stand-alone resource or could be used to refresh or supplement an existing curriculum that you have. Not only that, but the student packets come in a paperless digital version that can be used in Google Drive™ and/or Microsoft OneDrive™. This is perfect for the teacher who is in a 1:1 classroom, for someone who is hoping to integrate more educational technology to move towards becoming a paperless classroom, or is currently teaching via distance learning. Because it is all-inclusive, it is especially useful for new teachers, maternity leave, and flipped classrooms!
The following 10 units (all available for individual purchase in my store) are included. These resources total to $490, if all purchased individually. However, if you choose to purchase this full year bundle, you get a 20% discount, making the resource the listed price. That’s $2.17 a school day to be done with lesson planning for the year!
The following units are included in this bundle (click each one for a detailed description):
Lab safety and equipment, measurement, significant figures, dimensional analysis, scientific notation, and an introduction to matter (classification and properties)
Atomic theory and structure, an introduction to the periodic table, isotopes, and nuclear chemistry

“I am a 16-year bio teacher new to chem this year. I am so impressed with how comprehensive this curriculum is! The various activities keep my students engaged and they are very easy to set up. The practice is aligned very well with the content. My students say that they feel very prepared for the assessments, which align very well with the concepts in the course. The units are organized very well and are easy to navigate. One thing about this curriculum I find particularly helpful is how certain important topics (for example: bonding spectrum or electronegativity) are introduced then revisited and refined with new information and application multiple times throughout multiple units. This helps my students make connections and develop a deeper understanding that pays dividends. Plus, as a bio person, I appreciate the connections made to biology content!”
Most of the documents in this product are secured PDFs, meaning you can print them but not edit or copy/paste the text. The paperless digital student packets will be accessed via a Google Drive™ link in a PDF file that students can type into but not change the essential content of. Editable versions are only included for the unit plans, quizzes, tests and some aspects of the activities for you to customize for your classroom. The PowerPoint lecture notes also have editable text. This is to protect the copyright and intellectual property of my own work, plus the work of many dedicated clip artists that are included in this product. If you have questions about this, please don’t hesitate to email me with them PRIOR to purchasing!

*I wrote this curriculum for the science teacher with minimal materials and budget, so the majority of the supplies needed can be purchased on Amazon or at Walmart!*
This all-inclusive curriculum is perfect for:
This resource already comes with all of the student handouts in a packet format that can be used on paper (PDF to print) or digitally in a paperless version for Google Drive™ and/or Microsoft OneDrive™. All of the PowerPoint notes also come with a lecture video to help your students learn from afar. You can see all of my lecture videos on my YouTube channel here, and you can check out a free sample of a paperless digital packet so you can see what the formatting and usability is like prior to purchasing. Please don’t hesitate to email me at itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com if you have questions so we can figure out if this is a good fit for you and your students.
*NOTE* I did not specifically write this chemistry curriculum for distance learning or homeschool chemistry settings, but this entire curriculum can still be used in a modified format, and all will be fully usable when we are one day back in our classrooms! I include a document with tips for using the resources within each unit in a virtual teaching and/or homeschool setting to help you. If you have questions about which resources may or may not work from home, shoot me an email and we can discuss!
I read every state’s standards prior to writing this curriculum in attempt to serve as many teachers a possible with these resources. Specifically, this entire curriculum was written to align with the chemistry-based *NGSS High School Physical Science standards. When looking at the DCIs, this includes all of HS-PS1 and HS-PS3. I do not cover the physics-based DCIs in HS-PS2 and HS-PS4.
The crosscutting concepts and science and engineering practices are embedded throughout each unit so that the units reflect the three dimensions of the NGSS. An NGSS alignment document is included with each unit with suggestions for phenomena that can be used as you develop storylines specific to your students and their interests. My hope is that this curriculum provides you all of the foundational resources you need for figuring out “what” to teach, so that you can then focus your energy on “how” you want to teach.
I highly recommend to every teacher that you just purchase one unit first to test out before making such a large investment in purchasing the whole curriculum. This way you can see my style and make sure it is a good fit for you and your students first and minimizing the financial risk. If you like the unit and decide to go ahead and purchase the full curriculum bundle, you can submit your Order ID numbers for the bundle and unit to TpT on their Contact page (or email them to me at itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com if you prefer I do it for you) and you can request a refund for the original unit purchased that you tested out. As long as this is done within one year of the original purchase and you have also purchased the bundle, TpT will honor this request as they see it as a duplicate purchase, which falls within their refund policy. If you have questions about this, feel free to shoot me an email prior to purchasing at itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com.
Note: If you aren’t sure how your state standards compare to the NGSS, shoot me an email at itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com with a PDF or link to your state standards for Chemistry 1 and I will be happy to review them for you prior to you making a purchase!

I do not recommend any of my curricula for use in any integrated science course. Most integrated science courses take the NGSS and include a combination of PS, LS, and ESS standards. This curriculum solely covers chemistry-based PS standards, and thus you would have to majorly supplement to cover the LS, ESS, and physics-based PS standards that you have in your integrated course. If you are still interested, please email me a copy of your standards prior to purchasing so I can review them for you: itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com
If you are a first year teacher, new to teaching chemistry, going on maternity leave, or overwhelmed by too many responsibilities and classes to prep for, this resource was written for you. Designing curriculum for an entire unit, let alone an entire course like this one, that is organized, engaging, activity-based, and standards-aligned can be exhausting.
Especially if you are in a school with little to no science budget like I have been, it can be so hard to have a hands-on course without breaking your own bank to provide it for your students. This is why I began writing these comprehensive units – for the teacher who wants what is best for their students but doesn’t necessarily have the time, energy, or resources to provide it for them (which was ME!)
Not only that, I also wrote each unit with enough detail for my own non-science long-term maternity leave sub to be able to use them. The level of detail, links to the video lectures for each set of notes, and low-budget materials list makes this product perfect for teachers new to this subject, going on maternity leave for a long-term sub, or even trying a flipped classroom strategy.
The mission of It’s Not Rocket Science®️ is to provide creative and comprehensive resources that will engage students and simplify teachers’ lives so that teaching doesn’t have to be rocket science. This is the mission that drives me with every curriculum that I write, and I sincere hope is that every teacher who uses it is freed up to do more of what they love – actually TEACHING!
I completely understand the investment this is for your classroom, as I too am a teacher and know every penny counts. I highly encourage you if you are considering this big purchase to buy an individual unit first to see if my style is desirable for you and your students. If you like the unit and decide to go ahead and purchase the full curriculum bundle, email me at itsnotrocketsciencestore@gmail.com with your original order number and I will create a discount coupon for you to use to purchase the full year bundle without paying for the original unit you tested out twice. Have questions? I’d love to discuss with you further. You can email me or contact me here.
