Publisher's Description of Exploring Creation with Chemistry 3rd Edition Student Notebook
Our college-preparatory chemistry course is designed to give your student an excellent foundation. This accompanying high-quality spiral-bound notebook is essential for successful independent study.
A daily schedule keeps students on track, while note-taking pages and space to answer all the study questions found in the textbook help keep students organized. Additionally, lab report pages enable students to meticulously document their laboratory work in a manner that prepares them for college laboratory studies.
Going beyond the textbook, the student notebook also instructs students in creating and interpreting line graphs from data, an essential skill all students need to thrive in science.
Category Description for Exploring Creation with Chemistry
Apologia is a name you have long trusted for quality science curriculum, and this new edition of Exploring Creation with Chemistry makes chemistry approachable and doable in a homeschool setting. Now authored by Kristy Plourde, you will notice a few changes from previous editions.
The chapter order has been changed from the previous editions (1st and 2nd) of the curriculum. There are still 16 modules measurement, units, and the scientific method, atoms and molecules, atomic structure, molecular structure, polyatomic ions and molecular geometry, changes in matter and chemical reactions, describing chemical reactions, stoichiometry, acid-base chemistry, chemistry of solutions, gas phase, energy/heat and temperature, thermodynamics, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, and reduction-oxidation reactions. The front of the book offers a suggestion on how to use the book and the length of time typically spent to complete the course. "On Your Own" questions are found throughout the modules and are to be completed as the student reads the text answers are included at the end of the module. "Review Question" and "Practice Problems" are found at the end of each module to help students recall and apply important concepts presented in that module. The text is generous with examples, illustrations, and photos for clarity of concepts.
Some helpful resources are found at the back of the text glossary, tables/laws/equations, extra practice problems for each module, and a complete list of lab supplies.
Experiments are homeschool-friendly and can be completed using the lab kit (#008778) that is assembled by Natures Workshop and items that are easily accessible. If you want to do more advanced experiments, you can purchase the MicroChem Lab Kit (#020028). These experiments arent printed in the student text, but are mentioned and marked by a flask and test tube symbol along with where that experiment can be found in the MicroChem Manual. The experiments in this 3rd edition are a combination of some new ones and the tried-and-true from the previous editions. If you dont want or need to purchase the lab kit (#008778), the required items to complete experiments are a 1 mass scale (0 to 500 grams), blue and red litmus paper, 1 thermometer (-10 to 110 degrees C). If you have these three items, the text makes suggestions within the experiments for household substitutions of the other items needed.
A special website is available to accompany this course, offering web links and additional information for specific concepts. The web address is printed in the front of the text with instructions for access.
Quarterly tests and one test for each module are included in the test booklet and are perforated for easy removal. The test booklet can be purchased separately or with the solutions manual. The solutions manual includes answers to the review questions, practice problems, extra practice problems and all tests.

A suggested schedule will keep the student on track to finish the course. This notebook isnt included in the bundle, but is sold separately.
For economy purposes and ease of shopping, a bundle can be purchased that includes the textbook, tests, and solutions manual (CHM3ST). Algebra 1 is a prerequisite to doing this course and is important for solving and understanding chemical equations. If using Exploring Creation with Chemistry in a co-op setting, this new 3rd edition will not work with the older editions. Changes are significant enough that students will all need the same edition.

I like the notebooks in general for just help with organization. We used it as a helping tool but didn't let it rule us. It was nice to have everything in one place.

Very glad to have this lab book!
A great lab book, well organized, and very helpful! Many of my co-op students are using this for our research/chemistry class.

Excellent way to learn to write laboratory reports
This is an excellent introduction to writing laboratory reports. It is completely consumable but once completed is an addition to the student's science library that will help him through his first college chemistry.
There are occasional misprints in the homework sets when referring to the companion textbook. Apologia is very responsive when making inquiries.

Highly Recommend
This is a great book, and since I personally know the lady who wrote it (Mrs. Vicki Dincher), it's even better!

Chemistry Notebook
Very organized and plenty of room for writing. I am a little concerned about how large it is and being bound by plastic. I hope it holds up the entire year.

Very good course but challenging
This is a well-written, well-illustrated text book & the accompanying Journal. We also purchased the Version 2 DVD elsewhere because apparently there is no Version 3 DVD yet. This is a challenging and complex subject, but we are very happy with it. A chemistry teacher using Version 2 said she would just love to be able to teach from this book.
Have a question? Ask owners.
Start typing and see existing answers.
Why did you choose this?
Are the lab sheets pre typed or are they blank (generic form or specific to particular lab) and the student manually enter all data as well as findings?
The lab sheets are not blank, and follow this general form, adjusted for the specifics of each experiment: instructions/procedure for the lab, a space to write a hypothesis as to the experiment's result, tables/spaces to fill in your own data and observations, and a space to write the results/conclusions.
Is the notebook fine to use with the third edition second printing?
We used the student notebook with the 3rd edition textbook without any problems. I don't know if our text was the 2nd printing or not. The text and the student notebook correlated very well together.
Can you use this student notebook with the 2nd edition text?
My granddaughter has the 3rd edition textbook & notebook but is enrolled in a co-op class that is taught with 2nd edition. The chapters are in a different sequence. I think it would work, it is just a little inconvenient with the differing chapter sequences. I would try it.
I am supplementing this course with the MicroChem set, and this notebook allows for easy corporation of the enrichment materials
We chose this book because it was required by an AMAZING online school - Logos Online
