General Chemistry, Program

About this curriculum

General Chemistry   is a refreshing new approach to high school chemistry embodying all of the features for which Novare Science has become known. The mastery-learning paradigm builds comprehension by adding new concepts while reviewing and rehearsing key material throughout the year. This method is implemented in carefully designed exercises, cumulative assessments, and the embedding of lower-level skills in higher-level questions. Students appreciate the smaller profile and lighter weight of our books made possible through our   Textbook Philosophy . Concise, thorough, and rich, beautiful graphics make the book a pleasure to interact with. We intentionally integrate across related subjects: the history of modern chemistry, mathematics and technical communication is emphasized throughout. Finally, our approach to implementing a   Kingdom Perspective   is to do science from the faith-informed perspective as disciples of Christ studying God’s created order. This is apparent in General Chemistry from the observations about order in the universe, in how nature submits to scientific study and modeling, and in the fitness of creation as a habitat for humanity and animal life.…
