Chemistry (Teacher Guide)
This book was created to help teachers as they instruct students through the Master’s Class Chemistry course by Master Books. The teacher is one who guides students through the subject matter, helps each student stay on schedule and be organized, and is their source of accountability along the way. With that in mind, this guide provides additional help through the laboratory exercises, as well as lessons, quizzes, and examinations that are provided along with the answers.
The lessons in this study emphasize working through procedures and problem solving by learning patterns. The vocabulary is kept at the essential level. Practice exercises are given with their answers so that the patterns can be used in problem solving. These lessons and laboratory exercises are the result of over 30 years of teaching home school high school students and then working with them as they proceed through college. Guided labs are provided to enhance instruction of weekly lessons.
The vital resource for grading all assignments from the course, which includes:
- Instruction in chemistry with labs that provide comprehensive lists for required materials, detailed procedures with step-by-step photographs, and lab journaling pages.
- A strong Christian worldview that clearly reveals God's great wisdom and omnipotent control of the universe.
This is an introductory high school course covering the basic concepts and applications of modern chemistry. It is designed to provide a background for life skills in an age when science is increasingly involved in everyday life. Designed by a university science professor, this course provides the solid foundation students will need if taking chemistry in college. And though chemistry is usually considered to be a secular study, students will see God in every aspect of this course.
There are many principles and truths given to us in Scripture by the God that created the universe and all of the laws by which it functions. It is important to see the hand of God and His principles and wisdom as it plays out in chemistry. This course integrates what God has told us in the context of this study.
Home Science Tools has assembled a chemistry lab kit for the course. You will find it here: https://www.homesciencetools.com/product/lab-kit-for-master-books-chemistry/
Features: Each suggested weekly schedule has five easy-to-manage lessons that combine reading and worksheets. Worksheets, quizzes, and tests are perforated and three-hole punched — materials are easy to tear out, hand out, grade, and store. Adjust the schedule and materials needed to best work within your educational program. Space is given for assignments dates. There is flexibility in scheduling. Adapt the days to your school schedule.
Workflow: Students will read the pages in their book and then complete each section of the teacher guide. They should be encouraged to complete as many of the activities and projects as possible as well. Tests are given at regular intervals with space to record each grade.
