Chemical Reactions Science Learning Guide

An ordinary sandwich bag becomes a safe laboratory as students mix chemicals that bubble, change color, and produce gas, heat, and odor. Students then experiment to determine what causes the heat in this chemical reaction.

The Chemical Reactions Student Learning Guide includes self-directed readings, easy-to-follow illustrated explanations, guiding questions, inquiry-based activities, a lab investigation, key vocabulary review and assessment review questions, along with a post-test. It covers the following standards-aligned concepts: Changes of Matter; Chemical Reactions; Formulas & Equations; Balancing Equations; Types of Chemical Reactions (1); Types of Chemical Reactions (2); Energy in Chemical Reactions; Evidence of Chemical Reactions; and Chemical Reaction Rates & Catalysts. Aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and other state standards.

Friendly Chemistry is a truly unique approach to teaching introductory chemistry. Used by home schoolers and charter, public and private school students world-wide for over ten years, Friendly Chemistry presents what is often considered an intimidating subject as a genuinely fun, enjoyable experience. Whether you're a high-school aged student needing a lab science course or a "non-traditional" student looking for a refresher course to help you prepare for an upcoming entrance exam, Friendly Chemistry can help you accomplish your goal in a "painless" way! If you do have aspirations of a future in a science field, Friendly Chemistry can give you the solid foundation you need to succeed in subsequent courses.Friendly Chemistry was written using simple language and a host of analogies to make learning (and teaching!) chemistry easy. The chemistry concepts presented in Friendly Chemistry are NOT watered-down. The concepts are just explained in ways that are readily understood by most learners. Coupled with these explanations is a host of teaching aids, labs and games which makes the learning concrete and multi-sensory. Students find the course fun and painless. Parents often comment, "I wish I had had this when I was taking chemistry. Now it all makes so much sense!" Friendly Chemistry covers the same topics taught in traditional high school chemistry courses. The course begins with an introduction to atomic theory followed by discussion of why the elements are arranged the way they are in the periodic table. Quantum mechanics comes next using the acclaimed "Doo-wop" Board as a teaching aid. Next comes a discussion of how atoms become charged (ionization), followed by an explanation of how charged atoms make compounds. The mole is introduced next, followed by a discussion of chemical reactions. Stoichiometry (predicting amounts of product produced from a reaction) is treated next followed by a discussion of solutions (molarity). The course is wrapped up with a discussion of the ideal gas laws. Please note that this is the STUDENT EDITION. Volumes 1 and 2 of the TEACHER"S EDITION must be purchased separately in order to have all materials necessary to complete this chemistry course.

The Energy: Forms & Change Student Learning Guide includes self-directed readings, easy-to-follow illustrated explanations, guiding questions, inquiry-based activities, a lab investigation, key vocabulary review and assessment review questions, along with a post-test. It covers the following standards-aligned concepts: Introduction to Energy; Potential Energy; Kinetic Energy; Forms of Energy; Energy Transformation; Conservation of Energy; Heat & Heat Technology; Sources of Energy ? Nonrenewable; and Sources of Energy ? Renewable. Aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and other state standards.

Take your beginning chemistry students farther than you ever imagined! The Ross Lattner Intuitive Chemistry books start with the traditional chemistry curriculum, and modify it in three unique ways. 1. Uses the Ross model of the atom, a simplified version of the atom that "works" the way that young people think. Students can use the Ross model to make insightful explanations and accurate predictions of chemical behaviour. 2. Rearranges the traditional curriculum to avoid confusion and build student competency. Competent students are confident students! 3. Provides a model of science that directs the student's attention to the student's own understanding. Each experiment tests the validity of the student's own thinking. As in all of the Ross Lattner IntuitivScience series, diagrams are an important mode of expression. Parents and teachers, you get one half of the book! We provide solid pedagogical supports, recipes, and methods of presentation. Informed by over thirty years of international research into how students learn science, the IntuitivChemistry series directly challenges the everyday misconceptions that students bring to your classroom.

The Cells Student Learning Guide includes self-directed readings, easy-to-follow illustrated explanations, guiding questions, inquiry-based activities, a lab investigation, key vocabulary review and assessment review questions, along with a post-test. It covers the following standards-aligned concepts: Discovering Cells; Animal Cells; Plant Cells; Cell Energy; Photosynthesis; Comparing Plant & Animal Cells; Organization of Cells; Specialized Cells; and Single-cell Organisms. Aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and other state standards.
