Life of Fred: Chemistry

Life of Fred: Chemistry is a stand-alone chemistry course designed for the high school years. Short and concise-while still managing to cover many, many different topics in typical Life of Fred style-- it contains 36 lessons that are rich in content without overloading students with "facts, facts, facts." Each is designed to take one day and includes approximately four pages with a "Your Turn to Play" exercise set at the end (which consists of 2-5 questions). Answers are provided on the next page for students to go over themselves after attempting to solve the problems.

This book covers:

• The weight of a helium atom using ordinary high school chem lab equipment

• The value of absolute zero (-273o C) using ordinary high school chem lab equipment
• The periodic table of the elements step-by-step
• Why both Mn 2+ and Mn 3+ exist
• Student lab experiments

When this book is finished, the student will have completed a full year of high school chemistry.

240 pages, indexed, hardcover with smyth-sewn binding. Answers are also included in the text and written directly to the student. High School.
