Conceptual Chemistry’s Third Edition is a major revision of the textbook as well as its many supplements. In all of these revisions, the main focus has been on creating tools that support the instructor seeking to emphasize student-centered learning in the classroom and beyond.
For the textbook, this has meant the creation of new interchapter In the Spot light essays and marginal FYIs as described above. The aim of such features Is to help reveal how the concepts of chemistry are central to student’s lives, especially in thes modern times. Also, the end-of –chapter questions have bee extensively reworked to provide ample opportunity for student assessment. Notably, select Concept Builders and Supporting Calculations appear within the Instructor Resource CD-ROM in a multiple-choice format amenable to “Think-Pair Share” teaching techniques as described in the Instructor Manual. Most significant is the inclusion of full version of Conceptual Chemistry Alive!
