How can using Friendly Chemistry make my chemistry teaching experience easier?
Because public and private schools nationwide are being pressured to improve overall student performance especially in the math and science areas, more and more schools are requiring their graduates to have completed at least 3 years of science courses on their high school transcript. For most students this translates to taking a physical or earth science course, a course in biology and then either a course in chemistry or physics. Because many students do not anticipate entering a career in the natural sciences, they tend to choose the “lesser of the two evils” and take a course in chemistry to fulfil their graduation requirements. With a classroom of 25-30 students you may find you only have a handful of students truly interested in chemistry, but yet you must engage the remaining students in order for them to satisfactorally complete the course. Your traditionally-written chemistry textbook can definitely be working against you in this situation. You need a unique approach which can
