Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Description
Clearly
written and fully illustrated, the Novare Chemistry for Accelerated Students
presents a more intense study of the Novare General Chemistry content, and includes additional chapters on
the purpose of chemistry, measurements, atoms and substances, atomic structure,
the periodic table, chemical bonding, molecular theory and metallic bonding,
chemical reactions, kinetic theory, various laws pertaining to gases, solutions
and concentrations, acids and bases, and redox chemistry. The history of modern
chemistry, mathematics and technical communication is emphasized throughout.
Answers to selected exercises are found in the back of the text along with some
helpful information in the appendices. It is very important to read the teacher
and student information found in the preface of the text - this is where you
will get a thorough explanation of the philosophy of the author and the best
way to use the text. Every chapter begins with stated objectives, presents the
information into smaller chunks that are offered in numbered sections, and
rounds out the chapter with study questions. The author believes in questions
that require complete sentences as a response, so you won't find any
true/false, matching, or multiple-choice questions. The hardcover text is
smaller than some (7"x 10") so the print is smaller, and there are
colorful illustrations throughout.
Publisher's Description of Chemistry for Accelerated Students
Chemistry for Accelerated Students is an ideal text for students who love science and aspire to a STEM-oriented college program. This book contains up-to-date chemistry information, beautiful illustrations, and lucid narrative. It also supports Novare's trademark mastery-learning paradigm. This accelerated text is a more intense treatment than our General Chemistry text. This text includes additional chapters on thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, and a glimpse into organic chemistry. Ample exercises are included in each chapter giving students plenty of opportunity to develop skills. Explanations move along a little faster and go into a little more depth than the grade-level text. Although the mathematics involved in chemistry are generally not advanced, Chemistry for Accelerated Students is recommended for students who are concurrently enrolled in Algebra II. As with all Novare textbooks, our design philosophy guides the layout and composition of the text. Colors and images are attractive without being distracting. Our books are designed to be read and studied, and the presentation as well as the voice of the narrator supports that.
Category Description for Novare Chemistry for Accelerated Students
Written for students with a passion for the sciences, this rigorous program will prepare students well for college level Science courses. Providing an accelerated scope and sequence, and course pacing, this program covers all the concepts in the Novare General Chemistry text at a greater depth and adds additional topics including thermochemistry and kinetics, chemical equilibrium, and an introduction to organic chemistry. Exercises are abundant and help students master the material. Due to the rigorous nature of this program, it is recommended that Algebra II be taken concurrently. Physics is a pre-requisite. If your student has taken Biology and not Physics, it is highly recommended the Novare Chemistry Supplement be used to prepare them for the course. It is also assumed students understand the SI system of units and unit prefixes and can demonstrate proficiency with unit conversions and computations. A short tutorial is available in the appendix. In the Novare Science High School Accelerated Pathway, this course follows Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry. The course is written from a God-centered worldview that understands current scientific theories to be compatible with a belief in God’s creation. Required resources include the Student Edition Textbook, Digital Resources, Solutions Manual, and an Experiment Book. There are two options to add lab experiments to meet your high school transcript requirements: Chemistry Experiments for High School at Home written for homeschools or schools without a standard lab facility or the Chemistry Experiments for High School for schools or other facilities with standard lab equipment and lab space available. Optional and valuable resources include the General Chemistry Lab Kit which offers most supplies for the Chemistry Experiments for High School at Home and the Student Lab Handbook.
