Product Description
W. H. Freeman, a recognized leader in scientific publishing, and the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, are proud to announce the exciting new Fifth Edition of the classic high school chemistry text, Chemistry in the Community.
What is ChemCom?
Designed for a year-long high school chemistry course geared for college-bound students, ChemCom covers traditional chemistry topics with coverage organized around societal issues. With this program, students learn more organic and biochemistry as well as environmental and industrial chemistry. The text is 50% laboratory-based, with lab activities are fully integrated within context, not separate from the reading. ChemCom features decision-making activities to give students practice in applying their chemistry knowledge in various problem-solving situations. This text clearly addresses the fundamental concepts and principles found in the National Science Education Standards. Correlations are available showing how closely aligned ChemCom is to these and other state standards.
The seven units of study in ChemCom cover the topics:
1. Water
2. Materials
3. Petroleum
4. Air
5. Industry
6. Atoms
7. Food

Are your students tired of the traditional curriculum and bored with the dry presentation of your current text? ChemCom embeds the content standards of chemistry in a series of topical units designed to catch the interest of students and thus increase their involvement and learning. Units on Water, Resources, Petroleum and Air use numerous in-text activities to stimulate students into seeing how chemistry is vital to understanding these current environmental and political issues. Chemistry concepts are introduced and then later reinforced as the student progresses through the eight units. Interesting labs that non-science majors can relate to and learn from complement the many in-text activities. This curriculum is fun to teach and it works!
