High School College-Prep

Conceptual Chemistry is a program designed for the college liberal arts student. That said, many high schools are looking to college curriculum so that their college-bound students can graduate adequately prepared. Because of its careful attention to concept development, Conceptual Chemistry is a natural choice for teachers wanting their students to enter college with a strong background in chemistry concepts. Even for students who are not destined to a future in science, Conceptual Chemistry is an exciting way to learn the fundamentals of chemistry as well as related societal issues, such as nutrition, drug abuse, genetic engineering, agriculture, water resources, the atmosphere, materials goods, and our energy supplies.

Conceptual Chemistry Alive! offers high school students a peek into what a college course might be like. They will find it to be within the range of their abilities, which might encourage them further to pursuing college. Mostly, though, high school students who have access to both Conceptual Chemistry and Conceptual Chemistry Alive! will be motivated to learn.

The high school classroom setting most closely resembles the small-enrollment college course. Thus, the high school teacher should also look over that description to gain some ideas for how Conceptual Chemistry Alive! might be worked into the curriculum.

At a minimum, the high school teacher can look to Conceptual Chemistry Alive! as a teacher's training resource full of novel ways for presenting concepts and demonstrations.

Notably, the CCAlive! DVD-ROM now comes free with each third edition of Conceptual Chemistry. For the high school binding of the textbook, the extended student license to use this DVD-ROM requires no additional purchase or online registration.
