Overview
The 10th Edition, AP Update of Steven and Susan Zumdahl's CHEMISTRY brings together the solid pedagogy, easy-to-use media, and interactive exercises that today's teachers need for their AP chemistry course. Rather than focusing on rote memorization, CHEMISTRY uses a thoughtful approach built on problem-solving. Continuing the high-quality pedagogy of previous editions, the authors include an emphasis on critical systematic problem solving, critical thinking questions, and digital interactive examples in OWLv2 to help students learn how to approach and solve chemistry problems. Students are provided with the tools to become critical thinkers: to ask questions, to apply rules and develop models, and to evaluate the outcome. In addition, Steven and Susan Zumdahl crafted ChemWork, an online program included in OWLv2 to support their approach, in a way teachers would offer one-on-one help to students. Numerous other study aids available with CHEMISTRY support student learning including a strong emphasis on models, real world applications, visual learning, and independent problem solving.
