Cracking Chemistry is a carefully constructed textbook that, in appropriate detail, prompts students to question, connect and integrate the various aspects of the new course. It will empower students to develop a scientific habit of mind and a secure understanding of the core concepts and fundamental principles of chemistry. Students will be able to apply these confidently to analyse and solve problems.
Each chapter begins with a student checklist to guide learning and study. This is a clear list of what students must know and be able to do to fulfill the learning outcomes.
All definitions are clearly highlighted (and a comprehensive list of all definitions will be available in the online resources).
Higher Level only content is clearly marked throughout, making it easy to distinguish between Ordinary Level & Higher Level content.
Calculations: All calculations are broken down into step-by-step instructions to aid student learning.
The AAC: The book includes a student guide to the Chemistry in Practice (CIP) Investigation.
Students will complete experiments, experimental investigations and research investigations using the student portfolio. The student portfolio contains:
All required experiments (including required chemicals & apparatus, step-by-step methods, risk assessments and questions to test knowledge and understanding).
A structured approach to the experimental investigations (marked EI).
A structured template for the four required research investigations.
This contains further questions and activities linked to each chapter in the textbook to enhance and reinforce learning.
