Publisher's Description of Master's Class High School Chemistry Teacher Guide

This book was created to help teachers as they instruct students through the Master's Class Chemistry course by Master Books. The teacher is one who guides students through the subject matter, helps each student stay on schedule and be organized, and is their source of accountability along the way. With that in mind, this guide provides additional help through the laboratory exercises, as well as lessons, quizzes, and examinations that are provided along with the answers.

The lessons in this study emphasize working through procedures and problem solving by learning patterns. The vocabulary is kept at the essential level. Practice exercises are given with their answers so that the patterns can be used in problem solving. These lessons and laboratory exercises are the result of over 30 years of teaching home school high school students and then working with them as they proceed through college. Guided labs are provided to enhance instruction of weekly lessons.

There are many principles and truths given to us in Scripture by the God that created the universe and all of the laws by which it functions. It is important to see the hand of God and His principles and wisdom as it plays out in chemistry. This course integrates what God has told us in the context of this study.

Category Description for Master's Chemistry

This chemistry course was specifically written for homeschool use, easy to implement and Christian worldview based. Master Books saw a need and Dr. Dennis Englin put into print a course he had been teaching to homeschool students for many years. The course covers foundational Chemistry concepts and applications, all while keeping God and Bible in the equation. Algebra 1 is a prerequisite to this course which fulfills one high school credit.

The Student text is divided into 28 chapters covering metric measurements, chemical solutions, molecular mass and atomic theory, preparing molar solutions, chemical reactions, equations, moles, grams of reactant and product, electron configurations, the Periodic Table, ionic and covalent bonds, metal atoms, batteries, acids and bases, buffers, chemistry of carbon, organic chemistry, biochemistry, rates of chemical reactions, and environmental chemistry. The end of each chapter includes one lab. Chapters are easy to follow with an abundance of graphics and illustrations, sure to appeal to more visual students. Each chapter lists objectives and vocabulary, and notes and definitions are found in colored boxes throughout. Labs are broken down into steps with a list of required materials, purpose, and procedure. The procedure for each lab is broken down into numbered steps, some special equipment is required. Supplies used in the labs are alcohol burner, barium hydroxide, burette, burette clamp, ring stand, copper metal strip, economy pocket scale, Erlenmeyer flask, eyedropper, filter paper, glass beakers, stirring rod, graduated cylinder, laboratory scoop, Lugol's solution, Mohr pipette and pipette pump, molecular model kit, multimeter, petri dishes, pH paper, sodium acetate, soil testing kit, spectroscope analysis kit, test tube kit, transfer pipette, weighing boats (aluminum), wire with alligator clips, zinc metal strip. Please contact our office for a more complete list and quantities. Appendices include helpful laboratory procedure information, a chronological history of Christian chemists, and a glossary of chemistry vocabulary. 295 pgs, pb.

The Teacher Guide includes student worksheets and lab reports w/ samples for grading purposes, a weekly lesson schedule, supply list, instructions for quizzes and exams and a sheet for recording scores: 28 quizzes, 8 exams and answer keys.

This Chemistry course can be done more independently; the parent acts as a guide to come alongside. Overall, this is a good, solid high school introductory Chemistry and prepares students for college level sciences. Students will learn the basics of Chemistry and how to write lab reports while carrying out the procedures. Dr. Englin makes chemistry understandable and doable in the homeschool setting. ~ Donna
