Prepare your high schooler for advanced scientific studies using inquiry into real world phenomena with Savvas’ Experience Chemistry. Based on the latest research on how chemistry is successfully mastered by students, Experience Chemistry presents scientific concepts and content through a series of hands-on and online interactive experiences that build understanding – it’s the science of doing! Ongoing exposure to everyday phenomena allows students to see chemistry in their own lives and in the world around them.  Using the 5E learning model, students will Engage with the concept by viewing a demonstration and completing a Claim-Evidence-Reasoning exercise, Explore with a hands-on lab and at least two virtual labs per unit, complete activities and analysis in their interactive Student Experience Notebooks, Elaborate by building science literacy skills with “Authentic Reading and “Writing About Science” assignments, and Evaluate with hands-on, paper, and digital based options for assessments, including a performance assessment that measures mastery of lab and concept techniques and practices.   With four versions of each hands-on lab to choose from (open-ended, guided, short, and advanced versions), you can customize your student’s real world-real science experience and fit it into your family’s schedule. Online animations help clarify new and complex concepts. Engineering design challenges are part of each unit.
