Chemistry for all Students.

Living by Chemistry, Second Edition is a full-year high school curriculum that incorporates science practices with a guided-inquiry approach. Students of all levels will gain a deep understanding of chemistry with this program. With Living by Chemistry, students learn chemistry in the same way that chemists work by asking questions, collecting evidence, and thinking like scientists.

Features

Employs Guided Inquiry: Living By Chemistry uses an inquiry-based approach to encourage students to ask questions and propose explanations based on evidence. This "experience-first" program is supported by daily lesson plans with hands-on activities to guide students’ in-class discovery. The student edition then supports in-class activities with at-home reading to further explain concepts.

Engages and Differentiates: Living By Chemistrys six units focus on big ideas of chemistry and frame core concepts within every-day, real-world contexts. The hands-on activities support all learners and capture students interest while improving retention of concepts.

Ideal Preparation for the AP® Chemistry Course: Author Angelica Stacy assisted in the development of the NGSS standards and served on the AP® Chemistry redesign committee. She designed Living By Chemistry as an introduction for students who will take AP® Chemistry or additional college classes.

Research Based: Living By Chemistry was developed as a National Science Foundation project and is the product of a decade of research and development in high school classrooms focusing on optimizing student understanding of chemical principles.

Chapter Openings introduce the main ideas and learning goals of the chapter.

Example Problems and Exercises provide students with many opportunities to practice problem solving.

Featured Demos, Activities, and Labs allow students to see the concepts covered in the chapter and work on them firsthand.

Math Spotlights: Quick reviews of important math topics.

Unit Reviews revisit the big ideas and also give students practice in test-taking. New to the Updated Second Edition: Each unit review ends with an engineering project that puts the concepts of the unit into action.

English/Spanish Glossary

New to This Edition

  • Updated Periodic Table of the Elements to include recently chosen names of elements
  • Updated unit reviews now end with an engineering project that puts the concepts of the unit into action.z
  • Teacher’s Edition
  • Pre-AP® course tips
  • Connecting Chemical Concepts
  • Updated Data and Science

"I believe we have implemented the materials very close to how Angelica had envisioned.  Following the embedded learning sequence has proved very effective for our students.  We realize, and believe, that LBC is much more than a chemistry book, but that it is a rich, robust curriculum that meets the needs of students to reach a deep, contextual understanding of chemistry."

 —Sharon M. Sikora, Punahou School (HI)

Designed to help all students to learn real chemistry, Living By Chemistry is a full-year high school curriculum that incorporates science practices with a guided-inquiry approach. Students of all levels will gain a deep understanding of chemistry with this program. With Living By Chemistry, students learn chemistry in the same way that chemists work – by asking questions, collecting evidence, and thinking like scientists.

Living By Chemistry is the product of a decade of research and development in high school classrooms, focusing on optimizing student understanding of chemical principles. Author Angelica Stacy assisted in the development of the NGSS standards and served on the AP® Chemistry redesign committee. She designed Living By Chemistry as an introduction for students who will take AP® Chemistry or additional college classes. The curriculum was developed with the belief that science is best learned through first-hand experience and discussion with peers. Guided inquiry allows students to actively participate in, and become adept at, scientific processes and communication. These skills are vital to a student’s further success in science as well as beneficial to other pursuits. Formal definitions and formulas are frequently introduced after students have explored, scrutinized, and developed a concept, providing more effective instruction.

LBC’s innovative curriculum offers much more than traditional programs. To help engage students of all levels, the curriculum provides a variety of learning experiences through activities, discussions, games, demos, lectures, labs, and individual work.

Teachers will save time with the new teacher’s edition because all components of a successful lesson, from warm-up to wrap-up are included in a familiar wrap around style.
