 AN Excellent Chem Book May 10, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is my sixth year teaching using this book. I love it.
I have been teaching High School Chemistry for 11 years and have used 8 different books (including teaching AP Chem and teaching at the Community College.)
The good things about the book:
1.For High School Chemistry it is one of the most commonly used.
2.All the topics that need to be covered are covered well.
3.I like the sequencing.
oSome texts try to sequence from a historical perspective (gas laws very early) - which is very confusing for students.
oOther texts may have nuclear chemistry early - which leaves a small percent of the students always thinking that the nucleus changes in chemical reactions.
4.There are many problems for student practice.
5.The website has excellent resources for both students and teachers.
oFor students there are work sheets, on-line quizzes and solved problems.
oFor the teacher:
I have my student print out the worksheets and do them at home - saves me copying.
They can do the same for some pdf files - there is at least one for every new type of calculation (mole conversions, yield problems, limiting reagent problems ...)
The worksheets have a "teacher edition" -solved for your assistance.
6.The test making software is easy to use, easy to edit and easy to make multiple tests.
Things that could be improved upon:
1.It's big. My students must read through over 900 pages in one academic year. We don't cover it all.
2.I get quite a few "What does that mean?" questions. The text could be written clearer.
3.Most of the questions are math problems. The few conceptual problems are really not deep enough.
4.It is a good middle ground between college chemistry and lower level chemistry.
5.It could use a well integrated lab manual - designed for a 50 minute class.
Pretty Good book for school December 24, 2006

I have this book for my Honors Chemistry class since the other college book was too complicated for what we were trying to accomplish. Whenever I opened it up, I found it IMMENSELY more helpful than most books that I have had about chemistry before. Most of the concepts are very easy to understand and are presented in a comprehensible manner. It starts off with a brief intro about the period table, elements, neutrons, protons, ect. and it ends up talking about each family (group number) on the periodic table.
Overall, I think that this is a good book to learn from. I give it 5 out of 5 stars because I believe it is a very nice book that one would be able to learn much from. As being a student, I found this book easy to understand and most of the concepts well presented. Overall: nice book!
