Indiana Science and Math Adoption Review

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.

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.

Take Earth and Space Science instruction higher with the first ever high school program built with National Geographic content, images, and Explorers. Presents a rich overview of Earth and Space-related disciplines: exploring the physical attributes of planet Earth and its environment, emphasizing the human choices we have made, and discussing the physical consequences of those choices in the context of Earth systems. Address the Next Generation Science Standards to ensure your students meet current science skills and practices by integrating 3-Dimensional learning. Available digitally in the MindTap platform with interactive elements including videos, animations, and assessments.

Calculus for AP® is designed specifically to support the course frameworks for AP Calculus AB and AP® Calculus BC. Ron Larson has partnered with an AP Calculus teacher to develop a series that meets the needs of the AP Calculus course while helping students develop mathematical knowledge conceptually. With a clear focus on course demands, Calculus for AP introduces content in the sequence most preferred by AP Calculus teachers, resulting in more complete content coverage.

This best-selling author team explains concepts simply and clearly, without glossing over difficult points. Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, providing students with a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. Comprehensive and evenly paced, the book provides complete coverage of the function concept, and integrates a significant amount of graphing calculator material to help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. The authors’ attention to detail and clarity, the same as found in James Stewart’s market-leading Calculus text, is what makes this text the market leader.

The print student edition delivers sound, consistently structured explanations and exercises of mathematical concepts with laser-focus on preparing students for calculus. Instructional support includes free text-specific video solutions and live tutor support at CalcView.com and CalcChat.com.
