Giveaway from Friendly Chemistry: A $100 Teacher & Student Curriculum Set! (ended)

giveaways

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…

That's our 13yo, who is demonstrating "Element Bingo," in which he places playing pieces on element symbols (eg. Fe) as I call out the element's full name (eg. Iron). Friendly Chemistry, a 32-week program, is full of hands-on learning suggestions like element bingo.

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.

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.

  8. I want one! 🙂 Chemistry is the one subject that totally confused me in high school. I’d love to make sense of it for myself and my kids.

  12. I’d love this – I don’t feel like I did a good job with my kids with chemistry at all. I’d love to remedy that with this product.

  13. I would love to have this set. I would like to know if this is high school leveled. I am assuming that it is.

  17. I would love this set. I don’t think I did a great job with my dtr and would like to give her a boost the second time around.

  223. I’d love to enter…Ever since he was six, after an encounter with a Kitchen Chemistry week long summer program at Youth Science Center, my son has been fascinated by Chemistry. Memorized the Periodic table on his own. His Elements with style book is dog-eared. I am always looking for new Chemistry stuff for him to chew on… 🙂

  231. Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho. Another entry submitted for what looks like a nifty, desirable, useful product ! Thank you for posting the information about this program.

  234. Pleeeeze pick us…..we have been looking at this set…Love it!!!! Thanks for all that you do!

  238. Fantastic offer. I would love one. Science is our favorite subject – we can’t get enough.

  245. I Facebooked about this! Which was maybe not that smart because now more people will enter and my chances are slimmer!!
    Karen 🙂

  250. I would LOVE to win this!!!!! I am a chemistry professor’s daughter, so it’s my favourite subject, but I have found it hard to teach to a younger audience. I will be teaching one of my children, plus my two nephews, chemistry this fall and this program looks ideal! (I have bookmarked it so I can order, in case I didn’t win…..)

  253. Looks awesome! Even my kids got excited looking at it and chemistry does not excite them!! Sharing on Facebook!! AWESOME!! Would love to use this this year!! hint, hint!! :O)
