We’ve also included video demonstrations of all the experiments so your students can easily set up experiments at home.
Hands-on Experiments
Throughout this homeschool course, your student will combine video demonstrations with hands-on experiments for maximum learning. The hands-on experiments require easy-to-obtain household items, including the Chemistry Glassware Set, which contains the tools and utensils needed to complete them.
Automatically Graded Tests
The tests for the self-paced version of this course have been exclusively designed with automatic grading. After completing a test, students receive immediate results and explanations for any incorrect answers so they can re-review concepts as needed. They may repeat the test a second time to ensure they’ve understood all the material. The higher score of the two attempts will be recorded as the test grade.
Student Notebook
The student notebook for Exploring Creation with Chemistry, 3rd Edition, is highly recommended. It is designed to help students foster the independence, organization, and preparation they need to thrive academically.
Notetaking helps students retain information, review for tests, and record their thoughts as they connect the concepts presented in the textbook with their own ideas. Taking good notes can bridge the gap to mastering a concept with the following advantages:
- Students stay focused on what they are reading.
- Students pay closer attention, which increases their retention.
- Students have notes in their own words to review for tests.
- Students learn to connect new information to what they already know.
Additionally, the student notebook helps students keep a carefully organized, detailed, and complete lab notebook. Students can use the included lab report forms to record the information gathered during experiments and master writing a formal lab report.
The student notebook contains:
- Note-taking pages
- Instruction in the Cornell note-taking system
- Space to answer all study questions found in the textbook
- Lab report forms for each experiment in the text
