Themes• Chemistry for ALL students• Chemistry is everywhere,
every day• Learn chemistry by
DOING chemistry• Uses a “5-E” model,
supports inquiry • Emphasize chemistry of
the body and environment• No open flames, toxic materials,
fume hoods, or disposal issues• Supports “physics first” as well as
traditional approaches; endorsed by National Association of Governors
A Coordinated System
• Full color textbook• Full color lab manual• Unique equipment package
with a probe system thatincludes a spectrophotometerand a heater
• Teacher’s Guide• Classroom animations and video• Copyright 2010
A Well Designed Text
• One idea per page
• Paragraph outlining in the left margin
• Well illustrated with content-rich diagrams
• Figures always on the same page with the relevant text
• Formulas clearly presented with units
• Vocabulary on the bottom of the page
• Clean, consistent, and reader-friendly design
Problem solving
• Consistent presentation of problem solving strategy
• Solved examples of every numerical problem
• Conceptual development supported by analysis
• Math is not a barrier to understanding the concepts
Advanced topics
• Allow your better students to go farther
• Up to AP-level concepts
• Emphasis on conceptual understanding WITH quantitative application
• Concepts include
– Equilibrium constants
– Partial ionization
– Electrochemistry
