Description
Synergized Middle School Chemistry: Matter's
Phases and Properties, Volume 1, (Blue Cover)Â is the teacher's
edition companion to the Synergized Middle School Chemistry
Student Edition (Yellow Cover).  SMSC Volume 1 contains
information about the SMSC curriculum and pedagogy as well provides extensive
"Teacher Notes" for each lesson. SMSC Volume 1 gives practical
advice to teachers ranging from chemistry content refreshers to material
preparation to literacy and assessment strategies. To help save time and money,
SMSC investigations use safe and economical supplies found in supermarkets and
discount stores. Post-assessments are provided for each lesson set.
  The three, sequential lesson sets
in SMSC Volume 1 focus on the concepts associated with understanding the
phases of matter, kinetic molecular theory, density,and the attractive forces
that hold atoms and molecules together to form solids, liquids, and create
surface tensions. SMSC Matter's Phases and Properties provides the
foundation for further chemistry study. SMSC's Elements and Interactions,
Volume 2 (Red Cover) is the next part of the curriculum and can be taught
at the same or a later grade once students understand the basics in Volume 1.
  SMSC is a unique approach for
teaching middle level science. SMSC "synergizes" or "puts
together" lesson sequences using the best practices of science
instruction: inquiry-based learning, literacy integration (nonfiction reading
and writing, using science notebooks, science mathematics connections) and
embedded assessments (effective design, real world applications). SMSC students
are active participants in the learning process. Lessons are engaging,
hands-on, and relevant. Students read, write, calculate, and communicate in the
context of science. Student assessment is continuous and ongoing.Â
