Buy or borrow a chemistry textbook. Used older editions of chemistry books are availible at used bookstores for ~10 dollars. In addition, you may use the college level chemistry textbooks in Plybon's room at your convenience. The Openstax textbook is free online, and is an excellent resource (I use it to teach my class here at the high school!).
Equations must be memorized, so take notes and work through the example problems. Ask for help on problems you don't perfectly understand, and we can work through them together. Make a cheat sheet to review before UIL competitions.
