The book's focus is basic chemistry, but along the way it branches out into full-length chapters/appendices on particle physics, mathematics, information theory, probability and philosophy-of-science. In the end, it is more philosophical treatise than chemistry text, although it does include a number of hands-on kitchen chemistry experiments, as an integral part of the advocated philosophy.

Global warming, our current and greatest challenge, is without precedent. Among the many consequences that are impacting our society, one unanticipated concern involves scientific truth. When the President of the United States, and others in his administration, declare that global warming is fake science, it calls into question what real science is and what real school science should be.

To collect quality data requires bending over backwards to get things right, and this is exactly what makes science so special. Truth is made when scientists go this extra yard and devi...
The notion of Inquiry is often difficult for a science teacher to get a handle on. What is it exactly? And how can a teacher perform an inquiry lesson? This book begins by exploring this concept, then challenges the reader in an unconventional manner to take a stand about how they teach science. Step by step instructions are given to help the novice as well as the experienced middle and high school teacher to effectively conduct inquiry lessons. This book is linked to over six hours of video - providing teachers with model inquiry lessons in biology, chemistry, physics and earth science. Additionally, video-based evaluative guidelines are included to help teachers reflect on their instruction and improve how they conduct inquiry lessons. Coupling a clearly articulated process of doing inquiry, with video and self-assessment, science teachers will be empowered to take their instruction to the next level, and by so doing facilitate their students' understanding of science.
