Introducing... A Natural Approach to Chemistry
A Natural Approach to Chemistry

A Natural Approach to Chemistry takes a fresh new look at how chemistry is used today, in and out of the laboratory. Emphasis is placed on teaching students why and how chemistry occurs, using the three over-arching themes of energy, atoms, and systems. More traditional topics, such as states of matter, reactions, pH, electrochemistry, and stoichiometry are also covered in the course. Frequent examples from the human body and the environment are used to help students make connections to everyday life.

The idea was based on the belief that a complete lab activity could be packaged at an economical "cost per student," and that these "packages" would save teachers hours of lab preparation time.  more...

ASC Modules
LAB-AIDS APPLIED SCIENCE CONCEPTS MODULES

Developed in collaboration with The University of Kentucky Physics Group, the module activities relate to everyday experiences that involve events or objects in the home, school or workplace, making science more relevant to students. Materials for 160 students and a comprehensive teacher's guide with CD are included.
