AP Chemistry 1: Big Ideas 1, 2, 3

“Edvantage Science AP Chemistry 1 and 2 are really the culmination of nearly three decades of what I’ve determined as the best way to deliver the content of the Advanced Placement curriculum to my students. The Redesign of science and other subjects in AP courses is a response to educational studies such as the National Science Foundation’s “Lab Report to the Nation” among others. Such studies simply emphasize the importance of something I’ve always felt was important – a focus on the students’ construction of the important content and process related to the course they are taking”. Cheri Smith, Yale Secondary

“AP Chemistry 1 is not a traditional textbook but is a print and digital resource that belongs to the student and can be used in a classroom or for independent study. Students can use two components — a write in textbook (“WorkText”) that is customizable to reflect your teaching, and an interactive on-line study guide.

There is a section in the Worktext called “warm ups” where prior knowledge is referenced. “Quick Checks” help guide student learning. Review questions complete each section. A very cool feature is the use of QR codes, whereby videos created by AP Chemistry 1 authors appear in YouTube –like media. The Online Study Guide (OSG) is an interactive, personalized, digital, support feature for the WorkText. It provides access to online quizzes and AP Exam-like sample tests with instant feedback for the student. This resource is aligned with the AP Chemistry framework, and the reading level is appropriate for HS students”.   John Hnatow, Emmaus High School
