What is a core resource?
Core Resources
A core resource is a foundational or key resource that complements a curriculum in an especially effective way. It may be a comprehensive resource that broadly addresses several of the student learning outcomes (e.g., a major integrated resource, series, textbook), an in-depth student resource that addresses at least one student learning outcome or a professional resource for educators.

Chemistry Basics: Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It
This guide provides background information for teachers to build their understanding of the basics of chemistry. The emphasis is on "getting" the science rather than memorizing facts and formulas. Part of the Stop Faking It! Series, this title focuses on atomic structure and understanding why scientists believe the atom "looks" a certain way. It introduces concepts from quantum mechanics to build conceptual understanding of the atom without resorting to complicated mathematics equations. Each...
