Life of Fred: Chemistry is a stand-alone chemistry course designed for the high school years. Short and concise-while still managing to cover many, many different topics in typical Life of Fred style. It contains 36 lessons that are rich in content without overloading students with "facts, facts, facts." Each is designed to take one day and includes approximately four pages with a "Your Turn to Play" exercise set at the end (which consists of 2-5 questions). Answers are provided on the next page for students to go over themselves after attempting to solve the problems. This book covers: The weight of a helium atom using ordinary high school chem lab equipment - The value of absolute zero (-273o C) using ordinary high school chem lab equipment - The periodic table of the elements step-by-step - Why both Mn 2+ and Mn 3+ exist - Student lab experiments. When this book is finished, the student will have completed a full year of high school chemistry, 240 pages, indexed, hardcover with smyth-sewn binding. Answers are also included in the text and written directly to the student. High School.
