After a quick read through the introduction of Friendly Chemistry, you'll find that, hmm, chemistry is a little more interesting than you thought. Read a bit longer and you'll find yourself surprisingly absorbed in elements and molecules. Then…gather some students, teach a Friendly Chemistry lesson and you'll see that chemistry is not only fun, but the kids are asking to have another chemistry class! Say what?! I know I never asked for a repeat of a chemistry class when I was their age! But I was never taught friendly chemistry like this kid is…
The writers and publishers of Friendly Chemistry are Joey and Lisa Hajda, two very qualified teachers. They describe Friendly Chemistry like this: "Friendly Chemistry was written using simple language and a host of analogies to make learning (and teaching!) chemistry easy. We believe that the chemistry concepts presented in Friendly Chemistry are NOT watered-down. The concepts are just explained in ways that are readily understood by most learners. Coupled with these explanations is a host of teaching aids, labs and games which makes the learning concrete and multi-sensory. Students find the course fun and painless. Parents often comment, 'I wish I had had this when I was taking chemistry. Now it all makes so much sense!' "
Visit the Friendly Chemistry site for answers to questions about the program for homeschoolers or for answers to questions about using the program in private or public schools. The set retails for $100 ($50 for the student edition, including manipulatives + $50 for the teacher edition).
Guess what? The publishers want to offer one of you a free set of Friendly Chemistry.
This giveaway includes:
- Student text
- Teacher text
- Set of manipulatives:
- Doo-wop Board, which is a unique tool to teach electron orbital arrangements and ionization.
- Element Flashcards
- Doo-wop Mania card game
- Compound Intensity cards to accompany Compound Intensity Board Game found in the Friendly Chemistry Teacher's edition
- Ion Flashcards which are multisized cards which not only teach ion symbol and charge, but also how compounds form.
- Bag of playing pieces, chips and dice.
- Doo-wop Board, which is a unique tool to teach electron orbital arrangements and ionization.
The winning set will look like the one below, although there may be a few differences, since I photographed our set which we've been using for months.
