E-Book Overview
Baltimore, United Book Press 1993 - 567 p.ISBN 0—8412-2725-X
The goals of the five authors of this book, all college chemistry professors, are to demystifymaterials chemistry and to show that materials are both a source of great opportunities forchemists and a natural vehicle for introducing chemical principles. They believe that theintroductory chemistry course can be refreshed and enlivened while providing a firmfoundation for understanding the burgeoning field of materials chemistry. Thus, this book provides examples from materials chemistry that illustrate basic chemical principles facilitates integration of solids into the introductory chemistry course presents more than 50 easy-to-do demonstrations for teachers describes 15 laboratory experiments for studentsEvery teacher of introductory chemistry can benefit from this book.Chemical Demonstrations: A Sourcebook for Teachers. Volume 1 — By Lee R. Summerlin and James L. Ealy, Jr.Spiral bound, ISBN 0-8412-1481-6, Volume 2 — By Lee R. Summerlin, Christie L. Borgford, and Julie B. Ealy.These books contain demonstrations suitable for use in an introductory chemistry program.The examples, which can be used to introduce many of the major concepts in chemistry, wereselected because they are simple, safe, effective, and enjoyable. They are presented in asimple format for quick reference. Teaching tips, including notes and questions to be usedwith the demonstrations, are also includedОптически распознанный текст.
