Synopsis
The Ross Lattner IntuitivChemistry series is different The Ross Periodic Table is a powerful new way to approach the periodic table, aimed at high school students in their first chemistry course. In Table Manners, your students were introduced to civilized conversation with the Ross Periodic Table. They will love to continue the conversation in Table Talk.In Table Talk, the three simple concepts cultivated in Table Manners are directed at the more difficult problems in senior high school chemistry. Oxidation states, redox reactions, and organic chemistry are covered, followed by energy in chemical reactions, dipoles, and finally acids and bases.Throughout the series, we maintain a consistent approach that brings all of these chemical phenomena under your students' intuitive understanding. Your students will gain a level of fluency that is simply not possible using other approaches. Teachers and parents both know that personal competency is the only reliable foundation upon which to build a student's self-esteem and confidence.- Compatible with the emerging consensus on the nature of science.- Works with, not against, students' natural cognitive growth.- Integrates language with learning
Synopsis
Bring IntuitivChemistry with you into your senior high school chemistry class In Table Manners, you were introduced to a civilized conversation with the Ross Periodic Table. You will love to continue the discussion in Table Talk The same three simple concepts you cultivated in Table Manners are now directed at the more difficult problems in senior high school chemistry. The Ross Periodic Table is a pedagogical model of the periodic table, making oxidation states, redox reactions, and organic chemistry easy to learn. After these topics, you are equipped to learn about energy in chemical reactions, molecular polarity, and finally acids and bases. Both books maintain a consistent approach that brings all of these chemical phenomena under your students' intuitive understanding. You will gain a level of fluency that is simply not possible using other approaches. Teachers and parents both know that personal competency is the only reliable foundation upon which to build a student's self-esteem and confidence. - Compatible with the emerging consensus on the nature of science. - Works with, not against, students' natural cognitive growth. - Integrates language with learningAs in all of the IntuitivScience series, diagrams are an important mode of expression. Parents and teachers, you get one half of the book We provide solid pedagogical supports, recipes, and methods of presentation.Informed by over thirty years of international research into how students learn science, the IntuitivChemistry books directly challenge the everyday misconceptions that students bring to your classroom.
