The exciting new Third Edition expands on the visualisation pedagogy from co-author Stacey Lowery Bretz and makes it even easier to implement in the classroom. Based on her Chemistry Education Research on how students construct and interpret multiple representations, art in the book and media has been revised to be more pedagogically effective and address student misconceptions. New projected visualisation problems help instructors assess students' conceptual understanding in lecture or during exams. A new Interactive Instructor's Guide provides innovative ways to incorporate research-based active learning pedagogy into the classroom.

Fully aligned to the latest College Board's curriculum framework, Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach helps students understand chemistry at the micro, macro, and symbolic level. Author and chemistry education researcher, Stacey Lowery Bretz has incorporated her research on how students construct and interpret multiple representations into clear visualization pedagogy, which emphasizes the particulate nature of matter and helps students become expert problem solvers. This pedagogy extends beyond the book into the AP (R) teaching, learning, and assessment package.

The Second Edition of "Chemistry" provides an effective and easy-to-remember problem-solving strategy while placing the science in biological, cosmological, geological, and environmental context.An extensive teaching and learning package reinforces the book's emphasis on developing good problem-solving skills, from the SmartWork online tutorial and homework system to the animated and interactive ChemTours.

All general chemistry students face similar challenges but they use their textbook to meet those challenges in different ways. Some read chapters from beginning to end, some consult the book as a reference, and some look to the book for problem-solving help. Chemistry: The Science in Context, Third Edition was written and designed to help every kind of student, regardless of how they use the book.
