BJU Press Chemistry Teacher Edition 5th Edition
Description
The two-volume teacher edition presents research-based teaching strategies, including active learning, inquiry activities, group discussions, and formative assessments. The strategies all align with educational objectives and focus on explaining concepts to students by moving from concrete to abstract and by linking scientific concepts and processes with prior learning. Strategies also engage students both emotionally and intellectually. The teacher edition features a suggested teaching schedule, icon-coded items like weblinks and demonstrations, complete answers to review questions and solutions to math problems, and background information to enhance classroom instruction. It also includes a full-year lesson plan overview.
Newly revised in 2021, this program begins with the definition of matter, and then proceeds to address how matter interacts in chemical reactions, solutions, acids and bases, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and nuclear changes. The text material helps students understand both macroscopic and microscopic chemical changes. Based on customer feedback, revisions include adjusted explanations, additional example problems, full explanation of example problems in the student and teacher materials, and the reading level has been adjusted to meet the progressive needs of a 10th-11th grade student. Scope and sequence updates include expanded chapters on atomic structure, chemical composition and reactions, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. The chapter on Materials Chemistry has been removed. Considering these changes, it is not compatible with previous editions. BJU Chemistry remains a strong college preparatory course, but families may now find it more user friendly. Teaching remains teacher-centric and not student-guided or independent.
The softcover student edition contains the student readings, clear and accurate scientific images, case studies, minilabs, and review questions.
