By | Copyright Year:2015 | ISBN-13: 9780170246644

Published:11/11/2014
Nelson Chemistry for the Australian Curriculum Units 1 & 2 is written to address the requirements of the Australian Curriculum: Senior Chemistry.

It provides a contextual approach to the teaching and learning of chemistry. Four popular contexts (SHE strand) are provided along with the chemistry (SU strand) that links in with each context. Teachers can also choose to provide their own context and still use the chemistry chapters provided.

Science Inquiry Skills (SIS) are developed throughout the book in activities, experiments and investigations. A dedicated Scientific Investigation chapter provides students with structured support to enable them to confidently carry out their own scientific research.

*Complimentary access to NelsonNet is available to teachers who use the accompanying student book as a core resource in their classroom. Contact your education consultant for access codes and conditions.
