Produktbeschreibung

A new take on Chemistry E-textbooks:

Combining hundreds of professionally developed video vignettes embedded into chemistry textbook content, the Chemistry Companion E-Textbook Series provides the ideal introduction to chemistry studies, facilitating student learning across multiple modes of representation and overtly aligning with the principles that underpin how students learn chemistry.

Written and produced by a multi-award winning author with over 30 years experience in university teaching, the Chemistry Companion E-textbooks provide an accessible, easy-to-read introduction to chemistry. The care with which the author presents new ideas, in both a qualitative and quantitative manner, is a particular feature of the books and the visually engaging video vignettes allow students to connect with new concepts across multiple modes using multiple representations. The extensive use of worked examples, practice problems and clear and informative illustrations enables students to readily monitor and regulate their own learning and progress at their own pace.

The Chemistry Companion E-Textbooks are ideal for school students and university students alike and provide the ideal foundation for future studies in physical and biological sciences.

Features of the Chemistry Companion E-Textbooks include:

· Hundreds of video vignettes focussing on introducing new concepts in a visually engaging manner

· Clear, concise, accessible language for first time students of chemistry

· Carefully guided, step-by-step development of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of chemistry

· Over 250 worked Examples and Practice Problems embedded in the chapters

· Over 1000 end-of-chapter problems

· Answers and solutions to all questions at the end of the books

For over 10 years, the Chemistry Companion has been the introductory chemistry text at Griffith University. It is now available to the rest of the world via the E-textbook volumes.
