Program Overview:

Offering a rigorous but understandable introduction to chemistry, this program helps students understand that chemistry is something they must construct for themselves with the help of the teacher, content support including introductions to National Geographic Explorers, and laboratory exploration.

Program Overview:

Zumdahl and DeCoste’s Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation combines enhanced problem-solving structure with substantial pedagogy to enable students to become strong, independent problem solvers.

Program Overview:

Zumdahl’s focus is on independent problem-solving. Zumdahl is all about getting students to think independently, so there is a lot of support in early chapters of the program, but in later chapters, the hand-holding is reduced, allowing student to apply strategies learned earlier on their own to become more independent problem-solvers.

Program Overview:

Designed to help students develop the reasoning and problem-solving skills they need, while stimulating their interest in the fundamental concepts of physics, chemistry, astronomy, meteorology and geology, this latest edition of An Introduction to Physical Science is ideal for a non-science major’s course. Topics are treated both descriptively and quantitatively, providing instructors the flexibility to emphasize the approach that works best for their students. Known for the way it engages active learners, this student-friendly new edition includes new high-interest “Physical Science Today” articles featuring timely and relevant applications and offers a WebAssign course with a mobile-friendly ebook and active-learning modules.

Program Overview:

Environmental Science: Sustaining Your World was created specifically for high school environmental science courses. This updated copyright includes revised chapters with current data, and an improved digital experience with interactive “Storymaps” with visuals and data. National Geographic images and graphics support the text, while National Geographic Explorers and scientists who are working in the field to solve environmental issues of all kinds tell their stories of how real science and engineering practices are used to solve real-world environmental problems. Ensure that your students learn critical thinking skills to evaluate all sides of environmental issues while gaining knowledge of the Core Ideas from the NGSS and applying that knowledge to real science and engineering practices and activities.

Program Overview:

Authors Miller and Spoolman deliver a text that equips students with the inspiration and knowledge to help solve modern environmental issues. Environmental Science highlights important work of scientists and citizens, while photos, maps and illustrations bring course content to life. A concept-centered approach transforms complex topics into key concepts students understand. Using sustainability as their central theme, the authors emphasize natural capital, natural capital degradation, solutions, trade-offs and the importance of individuals. Students learn how nature works, how they interact with it and how humanity can continue to sustain its relationship with the earth by applying nature’s lessons to economies and individual lifestyles.
