Description
The Test Booklet for our Fundamentals of Chemistry homeschool curriculum for middle school. The bound booklet contains five tests to comprehensively review material from the Fundamentals of Chemistry Textbook.
Fundamentals of Chemistry homeschool curriculum from Science Shepherd is a high school preparatory course written by Dr. Scott Hardin. The comprehensive middle school course prepares students for higher level chemistry in the areas of data collection and standardization, atoms, bonding, organic chemistry and more. Students also learn how the observations of chemistry support biblical creation. With the available supplementary teacher information, parents can be involved in their student's learning without needing to be a chemistry expert.
Taking a complex topic and making it understandable to students is no light undertaking, and I am thrilled to see Dr. Hardin successfully take this challenging topic and make it student and parent friendly! Fundamentals of Chemistry from Science Shepherd is written to the student in a conversational manner. The concepts are clearly explained, the text sections are clearly defined, and the graphics are plentiful, with thoughtful explanations. Students learn about the study of chemistry and the general pursuit of science. Topics include scientific measurement and standardization, atoms, periodic table of elements, chemical bonding, matter, chemical compounds, chemical reactions, acids, bases, and solutions. Additional topics address chemical quantities (volume, mass and mole), organic chemistry, radioactive chemistry, and conclude with a brief history of science and scientists, with an emphasis on the compatibility of God and science.
The Fundamentals of Chemistry Textbook contains fourteen chapters. Each chapter begins with a key chapter preview and ends with a notable person of science, a review of key points, definitions, and study questions. Labs are not included in the textbook. Recommended (optional) the Fundamentals of Chemistry Lab Manual reinforces the key principles using hands-on lab activities. Activities are written to the student and use household items primarily. A few specialized items are required, see the full Supplies PDF available with the Lab Manual description.
The Fundamentals of Chemistry Answer Key and Parent Companion includes a 34-week schedule. One thing I really appreciate about the suggested schedule is that concepts considered to be more challenging are scheduled over 2 days, allowing students the time to really grasp the information. It also includes the answers to the chapter Study Questions and Tests. This is a straightforward, easy-to-use resource that includes the key points of each chapter but no additional teaching notes. The course is designed for independent learning.
The Fundamentals of Chemistry Test Booklet includes a single copy of the five tests. Tests are lengthy and include fill-in-the-blank, true or false, short answer, matching and essay questions. Parents are encouraged to consider their individual student needs and modify tests if necessary. The author has kindly provided suggestions and tips on how best to assess learning, including suggestions for effective modifications. Not reproducible.
Fundamentals of Chemistry is an exceptional course that homeschool families will appreciate for its thorough preparation for high school sciences. Chemistry, in particular, will be beneficial for future biology and chemistry courses. Families using the author's high school biology course will find this to be an excellent prerequisite that will set up students to succeed in their high school studies! ~Deanne
