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 - a periodic table designed for learning.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 learningInformed 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. In six sets of two page exercises, your students will cover these advanced chemistry topics.Oxidation and reduction (which are dynamic processes) and the concept of oxidation states (which are static properties)The essential concepts of redox reactions, including reactions between elemental metals and non-metals, between elemental non-metals and non-metals, and between covalent molecular compounds.Hydrocarbons and other compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen, the oxidation states of the atoms in such molecules, and redox reactions among organic compounds.Electron potential energy, and how it explains the energetics of the combustion of non-metals, metals, and hydrocarbons.Molecular polarity - the dipolarity of water, alcohols, and carbonyl groupsWhat makes non-metal oxides acidic? Why are metal oxides basic? What governs the strength of the oxy-acids? As in all of the IntuitivScience series, diagrams are the most important mode of learning. We are all visual learners. Every student exercise uses simple diagrams that are easy to learn, diagrams designed to have extraordinary power and depth. The diagrams are based upon the mental models that all of us use to make sense of the world, so they feel "intuitive." And they are tested carefully against demands of good scientific theory. You will use the Ross model of the atom, a simplified version of the atom that "works" the way that young people think.Parents and teachers, you get one half of the book! Each two-page student activity is accompanied by a two-page teacher / parent guide, so you can help your student proceed. At the end of each section is a thorough quiz.

Let's do more than just memorize stuff ! Once again, IntuitivScience represents introductory cell biology in a highly pictorial manner. Using very simple, easy-to-reproduce diagrams, students can quickly accomplish a solid understanding of the "how-and-why" of cellular reproduction. In this book, we explore how multicellular organisms grow, repair tissue, and pass on hereditary material. The emphasis is on the genetic information and its faithful and complete transmission between generations. We construct a simple model of the structure and role of DNA, how it is translated into protein, and how it is combined in sexual reproduction.Parents and teachers, you get one half of the book! We provide solid pedagogical supports, recipes, and methods of presentation. Every two-page Student Exercise in this book is supported by a two-page Parent-Teacher Guide, to help you teach your child about cellular reproduction. The unit itself is subdivided into four major sections. Each section will take a little more than one week to complete.Structure and function of the plant and animal cell. Basic use of the microscope to observe the plant and animal cells. This might be review for many students.The observable features of cellular reproduction, which are divided into two distinct phases. The first phase is cell reproduction, which involves the whole life cycle of one cell. The second observable phase is nuclear reproduction, which is widely known as mitosis.Reproduction at the molecular level. What's going on down there during mitosis and meiosis? What can go wrong?Laboratory activities in which students examine some forms of reproduction.At the end of each section is a thorough quiz. Your student will learn how multi-cellular organisms grow, repair tissue, and pass on hereditary material by forms of cell division and differentiation, with an emphasis on the genetic information and its faithful and complete transmission between generations. We explore the structure and role of DNA, how the cell "reads" DNA to make proteins, and how DNA damage can result in errors in those proteins. You may also investigate how people can manipulate DNA, and the societal effects of this technology.

Take your beginning chemistry students farther than you ever imagined!The Intuitive Chemistry books start with the traditional chemistry curriculum, and modify it in three unique ways.Uses the Ross model of the atom, a simplified version of the atom that "works" the way that young people think. Students can use the Ross model to make insightful explanations and accurate predictions of chemical behaviour.Rearranges the traditional curriculum to avoid confusion and build student competency. Competent students are confident students! Provides a model of science that directs the student's attention to the student's own understanding. Each experiment tests the validity of the student's own thinking.As 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 series directly challenges the everyday misconceptions that students bring to your classroom. For each Student Exercise in this book there is a Parent-Teacher Guide, to help you teach your child about the periodic table.Your student will review the composition of matter, from sub-atomic particles to solutions and mixtures.Next, you will explore the relationship between atomic structure, chemical behaviour, and organization of the periodic table.Finally, a brief survey of the chemical behavior of the s-block and p-block elements follows.At the end of each section is a thorough quiz

Take your beginning chemistry students farther than you ever imagined!The IntuitivChemistry books will guide your student through the traditional chemistry curriculum - and make it intuitive in three unique ways.We are all visual learners. Every student exercise uses simple diagrams that are easy to learn, diagrams designed to have extraordinary power and depth. The diagrams are based upon the mental models that all of us use to make sense of the world, so they feel "intuitive." And they are tested carefully against demands of good scientific theory. You will use the Ross model of the atom, a simplified version of the atom that "works" the way that young people think. Students can use the Ross model to make insightful explanations and accurate predictions of chemical behaviour.You will follow the traditional curriculum in a slightly re-arranged order, to avoid confusion and build student competency. Competent students are confident students!We will provide you with a model of science that directs the student's attention to the student's own understanding. Each experiment tests the validity of the student's own thinking.Each two-page student activity requires students to represent chemical processes four different ways: Balanced chemical equation, word equation, Dalton diagram equation and mass equation. These four representations reinforce student understanding of chemical change. In addition, each activity requires students to use complete sentences and paragraphs to express their own thinking.The relationship between atomic structure, chemical behavior, and organization of the periodic table is extended from the Grade Nine Chemistry unit. We clearly intend this unit to anticipate and support the introduction of the mole concept in Grade 11.The unit is composed of three major sections.Decomposition and synthesis reactions, with their one-to-many and many-to-one structure, are the easiest to work with. Metals, non-metals and pH. The origins of acid and base behavior are probed here, bringing the student to single displacement and double displacement reactions.Reactions of Acids and Bases. In both metal / acid reactions and acid / base reactions, we continue to use the four representations. Emphasis is placed on naming the chemicals involved.Each two-page student exercise is linked to a two-page parent / teacher guide.At the end of each section is a thorough quiz.

An investigation into environmental sustainability, this unit emphasizes the structures of ecosystems, the cycling of matter and energy within ecosystems, and the ways in which humans affect sustainability of ecosystems. Because this unit involves some outdoor investigations, it should be placed first if taught in the autumn semester, or last, if taught in the winter semester. The unit itself is divided into four sections.1.The unit begins with a brief consideration of energy and thermodynamics and the limits placed on ecosystems by the first two laws.2.Recycling matter is the focus of the second part of the unit. Students investigate the water cycle, food webs and other biotic components of ecosystems.3.Next, students are given the opportunity to investigate abiotic and biotic parameters in a local aquatic ecosystem.4.The unit concludes with a five-day performance task that will enable students to examine human affects on the sustainability of ecosystems.

Daydreams Alongside Surf: Cinquain Magic, brings us short poetry in the Cinquain and Butterfly Cinquain form. Tight, as the form allows ( five lines or nine, respectively, ) a brief read inspires the magic of daydreams. Whether sitting alongside a soughing sea, or by a crackling fire in a winter snow storm; whether enjoying a spring moment in the morning sun on the deck, or sensing autumn and falling leaves from an urban balcony, cinquain brings us such magic. Jim Ross has given us the magic before, in his books, Scattered Reflections and A Plea to a Wine Cork. He now works his wizardry in this powerful, popular form.

A Plea to a Wine Cork is but one of many "happenstances" that befall the characters in this charming chap book, the stories revealed in many poetic forms. Here, the author reflects on life's dimensions in rhythms and tones befitting the vibrancy of all stages of life. Playful, inventive, and immensely accessible, we are treated to dreams and first-impressions, passionate stirrings of first loves, overcoming multiple traumas of disappointment, and unwanted resignation. A Plea to a Wine Cork satisfies the soul whether you're the disintegrating cork or the anxious connoisseur.
