Sample<\/a><\/p>\n In home settings or schools without standard lab fixtures (gas jets, vent hoods, etc), conducting effective chemistry experiments is a challenge. Many publishers make experiments so \u201ceasy\u201d that the chemistry principles in focus are not well illustrated. Oftentimes the learning goal is absent or unclear. The student may end up performing steps that she doesn\u2019t understand to witness a chemical reaction that she also doesn\u2019t understand. Home educators may see no other option but to resort to \u201ceasy\u201d experiments using household items.<\/p>\n The result can quickly become little more than a magic show. Students mix ingredients and watch the effects never achieving the learning objectives. The chemicals, procedures, and equipment often bear little or no resemblance to what a real chemist would use, and they do not prepare students for the rigours of their college science courses.<\/p>\n Each experiment includes Learning Objectives, Text Connections (for\u00a0General Chemistry<\/em> <\/a>and\u00a0Chemistry for Accelerated Students<\/em> <\/a>textbooks), Lab Skills Focus, Materials and Apparatus List, safety issues, Background, Procedure, as well as any special waste disposal matters. Pages are perforated so that students can remove the Short Form Report Sheets for each experiment.<\/p>\n Novare Science & Math has the goal of helping educators of all sorts implement an excellent science education program. In the chemistry lab, this means bringing students into the real chemist experience. It requires effort, skill, and patience \u2013 learning and observing universal safety procedures, use of correct terminology, use of apparatus, skills of measurement, recording, documentation, cleanup and waste disposal. The best-educated students will also take some time to learn the background of an experiment, how to analyze results, and how to write a premier lab report.<\/p>\n The book is intended\u00a0for each student to have their own copy.<\/p>\nExperiments:<\/h4>\n
