Avoid the pain of mindless memorization by reviewing chemistry using the tricks, shortcuts, and practical methods that work to make introductory chemistry concepts understandable. Enjoy the humor and insights of a veteran science teacher who got to the classroom the hard way.

If you have at some point spent time in an introductory chemistry class do you just need a little explanation in English so that indeed your understanding of basic chemistry concepts and therefore your life will be complete? Could you use explanations that will clear up misconceptions and fill in blanks in your understanding without allowing boredom to suck your will to live right out of you?

Examples, stories and other real-world ways of explaining chemistry that have worked for hundreds of students for over 20 years are included, along with illustrations right off the classroom’s whiteboard. Access to the author’s 14 online videos highlighting basic chemistry topics is included.

Obviously, everything on the subject has not been included, and this is not in any sense a traditional chemistry text. There is more than that in here. Along with the chemistry, come along on one teacher’s unconventional journey teaching high school chemistry. Get a peek of his fun, maddening, rewarding, totally exhausting experience... an indivisible mixture that has been full of Chemistry, Teaching, and Life. All three are in here.
