Chemistry in the Kitchen and Beyond: Matter, Energy, and Change (Part 2)

Grade 10, Units 5-8 · 329 pages · 42 lessons · PDF, print at home

A full-year, lab-grounded chemistry course for Grade 10 built around kitchen-safe, home-adaptable investigations. Students move from measuring and modeling matter at the macroscopic scale to explaining behavior at the particle scale: atomic structure, bonding, stoichiometry, gas behavior, solutions, rates and equilibrium, and acid-base and redox chemistry. Every unit anchors abstract particle-level models to something students can observe, measure, or safely manipulate without a fume hood or regulated reagents. The course is standards-aligned to NGSS and CCSS literacy and math connections. This volume holds units 5 to 8: Gases and the Kinetic Molecular Model; Solutions: Concentration and Solubility; Rates and Equilibrium: Reactions in Motion; Acids, Bases, and Electron Transfer: Chemistry in Action.
