Publisher's Description of Friendly Chemistry Teacher Edition Volume 1

For volume 1 of TE: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 Volume 1 of the Teacher's Edition. Volume 2 of the Teacher's Edition, the Student Edition and the Manipulative Set must be purchased separately to have all necessary materials to complete this course.

Category Description for Friendly Chemistry Required Components

Part of what makes Friendly Chemistry, “friendly” is that the required components are “just enough” without being overwhelming. Along with the easy-to-understand explanations, the black and white illustrations and examples are minimalistic, making the pages helpful without being overwhelming. Of course, the program becomes even more friendly when you add on any (or all) of the supplemental resources.

Required components include the Student Book, 2-volume Friendly Chemistry Teacher Edition (Choose either the Homeschool or the Classroom Version), and the Friendly Chemistry Manipulative Set. You will also need to supply the household items for the hands-on lab activities. The Teacher Editions are available individually or in a set. The Friendly Chemistry Essential Set provides all of the required components: the Homeschool Teacher Edition (Volume 1 and 2), Student Book, and Manipulative Set. Worth mentioning, it would be possible to do the course just using the Teacher Edition (Vol. 1 and 2) and Manipulative Set, since the Teacher Edition volumes include the full text and worksheets included in the Student Book, along with the teaching information and answers.
