For high schools wishing to use Foundations of Chemistry, we offer a High School Site License. This License allows for instructor access to both the student and instructor editions of the book (in electronic format), with full permission to print and distribute activities from the student edition. The HS Site License is good for 3 full academic years. Upon purchase, you will receive a User ID, Password, and instructions for access. We will mail you a Site License Agreement that you should sign and return.

Once you purchase the Site License, we will send you a site license Agreement for you to approve, sign, and return to us. Access notification for the site license Website will follow receipt of the Agreement.

Whether or not you use POGIL, this book is worthwhile to read. I found myself thinking about my general chemistry students and how I can help them learn to be better problem solvers after reading this book. I would recommend this to anyone teaching general chemistry at the college or high school level. (Journal of Chemical Education https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ed200606z)

A truly unique feature of the book is the opportunity for an instructor to provide three different levels of help (clues) to students. Au Help (gold) presents a strategy that resembles the way experts think when they solve problems. The use of this strategy is illustrated and prompted to differing degrees in Ag Help (silver) and Cu Help (copper). As the semester progresses, students should move through these stages of Help to develop and improve their problem solving skills.

There is an Instructor's Resources website, access to which is included with purchase of the Site License. The Instructor Resources includes solutions to all Got It! problems, answer keys to the Help pages, as well as the Help pages for students (which include prompts but not the solutions).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
