For easy use, all materials are organized into the five units of study listed below with their sections. Each unit offers a variety of lessons designed to provide interaction between students and their world in a way that encourages scientific reasoning.

MEASUREMENT: Language of Chemistry... Units of Measurement... Measurement
MATTER: Atomic Structure... The Periodic Law... Diffusion and Osmosis... Changes of State... Classification of Matter
CHEMICAL AND NUCLEAR REACTIONS: Chemical Bonding... Types of Chemical Reactions... Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reactions... Electrochemistry... Polymers... Nuclear Chemistry
THERMODYNAMICS AND KINETICS: Thermochemistry... Heat Transfer... Chemical Kinetics... Chemical Equilibrium
GASES, LIQUIDS, SOLIDS, AND MIXTURES: Gases... Colloids and Suspensions... Solutes, Solvents, Solutions... Colligative Properties... Acids and Bases... Acid and Base Reactions... Crystal and Crystallization

Each easy-to-follow lesson format contains a concise introduction using common knowledge examples... reproducible pages for students... a "To the Teacher" information section... and a separate listing of additional, specific applications that students can relate to.

More than 450 illustration and 100 tables supplement instruction, add interest, and heighten the learning process.
Also included is a handy appendix in reproducible form that contains valuable tables, lists, information on safety, chemical procurement and preparation, and more. And as a special help, each lesson provides complete answer keys and enough detailed explanations to ensure success for even the inexperienced science teacher.

You'll find Hands-On Chemistry Activities can be used to supplement any chemistry textbook or as a stand-alone chemistry program in itself. However you use it, these activities will help you inject new vitality into your curriculum!
