Chemistry : A General Chemistry Project of the American Chemical Society

Rating:
Summary: new kind of textbook
Review: This text covers basic chemical principles in the context of important molecules. It does not spoonfeed students chemical "knowledge." Rather, it encourages students to "discover" knowledge with their peers by participating learning activities. Students who have no desire of understanding chemistry might be better off with a more traditional text so that they can "get by" with a "D" in chemistry and forget about it. Teachers who only want to go through the motions should also avoid this text. However, those who are willing to take some risk to really learn and teach chemistry should give this text a try.
