The Ross Lattner IntuitivChemistry series is different! The Ross Periodic Table is a powerful new way to approach the periodic table, aimed at high school students in their first chemistry course. How does it work? Every atom of the main block elements is represented with just three features: the atomic core, the valence radius, and the valence electrons. Using only their natural intuitive reasoning, students make use of these three features to make accurate predictions of chemical behavior. Students will quickly learn these three simple concepts, and apply them to an astonishing number of chemical phenomena. Within a few days, they will accurately predict and explain the behavior of the elements covered in introductory chemistry courses. These concepts will form a strong foundation for all the chemistry you'll teach in high school. Your students will gain a level of fluency that is not possible using other approaches. As teachers and parents know, personal competency is the only reliable foundation for building self esteem and confidence. - Compatible with the emerging consensus on the nature of science.- Works with, not against, students' natural cognitive growth.- Integrates language with learning

Every pencil-and-paper student exercise has its own parent / teacher guide, to help you teach your child. Your student will investigate the motions of bicycles, soccer balls, and their own bodies in everyday play, using diagrams. All your child needs is a pencil, some paper, and basic addition, subtraction multiplication and division. No algebra! For example, your child sees a soccer ball lying motionless, and gives the ball a kick toward a friend. The ball moves smoothly toward the friend, who stops the ball with another nudge, leaving the ball motionless once again. We will study four aspects of that motion over four weeks, .Students will learn to draw velocity: time graphs to describe simple motion, and relate that motion to gaining and losing momentum. Students will calculate distance (displacement) as the area under a v: t graph.In their muscles, bones, tendons and nerves, children have a natural intuitive understanding of impulse, the ooomph! that gets a ball moving or stopping. We will make the most of their intuitive understanding: this Ooomph! is known to physicists as
