Innovative Curriculum
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Are your students tired of the traditional curriculum and bored with the dry presentation of your current text? ChemCom embeds the content standards of chemistry in a series of topical units designed to catch the interest of students and thus increase their involvement and learning. Units on Water, Resources, Petroleum and Air use numerous in-text activities to stimulate students into seeing how chemistry is vital to understanding these current environmental and political issues. Chemistry concepts are introduced and then later reinforced as the student progresses through the eight units. Interesting labs that non-science majors can relate to and learn from complement the many in-text activities. This curriculum is fun to teach and it works!
