Synopsis: Chemistry in the Earth System has been designed and written following the High School Three-Course Model for California. It will also suit NGSS-aligned states integrating Earth Science with Chemistry. This phenomena-based title takes a three-dimensional approach to provide an engaging, relevant, and rigorous program of instruction. Departing from the more traditional approach of BIOZONE’s Non-Integrated Series, the Integrated Series offers a learning experience based on the 5 Es and anchored in student-relevant phenomena and problems.
