A General Chemistry Book Thats Really Good For Teachers

A General Chemistry Book That's Really Good For TeachersThis General Chemistry book is a little different than most. The students do not learn how to analyze a chemical, but rather what the heck they should and shouldn't be doing with it.I suppose that would be a good thing, if you could learn the analysis of chemical reactions and just know when to combine. Then it would be a very specific area of chemistry, and it would be something that could be learned in any college or university. But, this is not a general chemistry book, or I would suggest that this would not be required for a Chem major.Most of this book is actually for young children. At one point you can read that if you write down a few things about the kind of paint you use, your child will be able to tell you which color is which. So, if your child wants to know why her shoes are blue, she can try this experiment.Also, there is a chapter where we teach you to write a paper for High School. It is a little confusing becaus e of the multiple choice format. I think this was a good idea, though, for older children to practice the writing portion of the test. It is certainly not necessary, but it is definitely fun.After your child writes a paper, we give them some guidelines about what to add and not to add to their paper. You have to be very careful about how much information to give on something like how much salt you should put in a jar. It does not seem fair to give the person doing the test information about how much salt they should put into the jar, because that makes it easier for them to cheat.However, by the end of the day we try to pay attention to our students' performance and try to teach them more. In fact, I have a little chart of what the students did at lunch. So I know what we should focus on in the future.A good book like this is especially important in a time when our kids spend so much time in front of the computer, watching TV or playing video games. We don't want them bored and so t his helps us maintain their interest. Plus, if you have some additional supplementary materials with you, you will have a little more flexibility in what you can teach.On a side note, I have talked to other parents who are interested in getting a book like this for their child to help them learn certain things. I am not sure whether they would be interested in a more science-oriented book, or one that focuses more on writing. If that is what you choose, then I would recommend that you get a general chemistry book for your child.
