Chemistry. Matter and Change. Student Edition
The chapters in this textbook provide support for the Physical Science 20 Foundations of Chemistry outcomes and provide some support for the Heat outcomes, but do not provide support for Properties of Waves outcomes. The text supports all of the outcomes in the Chemistry 30 curriculum. Framed around big ideas and essential questions, each chapter is introduced by connecting chemistry to students' lives. The chapters offer many real-world examples of how chemistry is involved in everyday objects, natural phenomena or experiences, as well as provide web links, example problems, demonstration and lab activities, a review and a chapter assessment. The Careers in Chemistry sections throughout the textbook link the concepts studied to everyday careers. The textbook integrates appropriate graphic representations of scientific concepts and tables of relevant data. The textbook does not address First Nations and Métis content, perspectives or ways of knowing.
