| This chemistry curriculum
from BJU Press teaches students about the makeup of matter, the design of atoms, the
periodic table, bonding, formulas, reactions, solutions, acids, bases, and several
specialized branches of chemistry - all of the topics that make up a comprehensive high
school chemistry course. The text stresses the marvels of God's design in creation and
promotes the development of organized problem solving. Fundamental ideas are used to
explain each concept with words rather than mathematical equations. The softbound Student Text includes 19 chapters and
550 pages. The Student Text is full color with illustrations and
photographs. Important terms appear in boldfaced text and are defined in the glossary.
Sample problems, with their solutions, are also included in the student text. Review
questions are listed at the end of each chapter and at the end of each chapter section to
give students the opportunity to practice and solidify what they have learned. Additional
articles called Facets provide further exploration of special topics from each chapter.
