Chemistry for all Students.

Living By Chemistry makes rigorous chemistry accessible to all students.
 
Designed to help all students to learn real chemistry, Living By Chemistry is a full-year high school curriculum that aligns with the new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the most rigorous of state standards.  Incorporating science practices with a  guided-inquiry approach, students ask questions, collect evidence, and think like scientists when learning with Living By Chemistry.

BFW Publishers is pleased to offer Living By Chemistry with a value package of Sapling Learning’s interactive online problem-solving program.  Learn more about this offer here or request a demonstration of the LBC and Sapling System.

Features

Research Based
Developed as a National Science Foundation project, Living By Chemistry aligns to the Benchmarks for Scientific Literacy, National Science Educational Standards, National Physical Science Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Field-testing shows that students of all ability levels perform better with Living By Chemistry.
 
Guided Inquiry
The National Science Education Standards recommend using inquiry to teach science. Guided inquiry encourages students ask questions and propose explanations based on evidence. They learn to reflect on ideas and effectively communicate scientific concepts.  The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) emphasize the importance of science practices which provide the backbone of the Living By Chemistry program

Engaging and Rigorous
Research shows that students learn science best by investigating questions in an interesting context. So, Living By Chemistry's six units focus on big ideas of chemistry and frame core concepts within everyday, real-world contexts. This approach captures students' interest and improves their retention of concepts while addressing NGSS requirements.
