My Favorite Resources for High School Chemistry
Published April 2, 2025
If you're a high school student looking for extra resources for your Chemistry class, you've come to the right place. If a specific unit keeps tripping you up, our post on why students struggle with high school chemistry is worth a read alongside these resources.
Chemistry YouTube Playlist
The Organic Chemistry Tutor has a great YouTube Playlist for Chemistry. It has over 300 videos that overview most topics important for high school Chemistry courses.
Interactive Periodic Table
The Ptable interactive periodic table is an excellent resource. It offers visualizations of element properties, electron configurations, and trends like electronegativity and atomic radius. The website also allows you to explore compound creation through combining elements.
Working Through Chemistry 11 and 12 With a Tutor
We have a large set of example problems and practice exams for BC Chemistry 11 and 12, built up over years of teaching those courses, and our tutors work through them with students during sessions.
For a more general approach to exam prep, see our guide on how to study for a BC science exam, or look at chemistry tutoring if you would rather go through it with someone.
We also have a Problem Bank now. To be clear, it covers math, physics, and engineering courses rather than chemistry, so it won't help with Chemistry 11 or 12.
More Chemistry YouTube Resources
Khan Academy has multiple Chemistry playlists covering fundamental and more advanced Chemistry topics. Linked below is their playlist on Stoichiometry, a common starting point for high school Chemistry courses.

BC Chemistry 11 and 12 Resources
Mr. Wilkison is a BC Chemistry teacher who has excellent notes and example problems for both Chemistry 11 and 12. Ms. McLarty is another BC Chemistry teacher who has similar content for Chemistry 12.
There is a lot of content between these resources, so I would recommend narrowing in on a specific topic that you are struggling with and finding their resources for that!
