Synopsis
A middle school physical science textbook complete with a video of the power point lessons, links to experiments, and a flash card review. This is volume one of a three-volume set. Volume one covers the scientific method, matter and energy. Volume two covers physics, motion and gravity. Volume three covers chemistry, waves and pseudoscience. This is intended to be a middle school level physical science textbook, but it is not written as one. It is easy to understand and funny. It is not only targeted at a middle school student but sounds like one wrote it. A lot of immature examples are used, kids like this. This is not your normal textbook, it is fun to read, but includes all the vocabulary and complex ideas. The current textbooks are full of boring information but they are useless if no one wants to actually read them. A student will want to read this one, so will an adult. It explains in easy language, complex topics. There are links to demonstrations, experiments, simulations, videos, and funny examples of science. This book is written to make physical science fun, as all science should be. Normally a textbook is written so the teacher can make a lesson from it, this one is the opposite. These are my lessons converted into a textbook. I know the lessons and examples work, so the textbook should also. There is the paperback version and an e-book. This is an excellent science book for home school students. Since this is intended to be an e-book it also includes links to my power point lessons (in video form), links to videos, demonstrations, and simulations. There are a lot of links in each chapter. This is self-published book designed to be an affordable online textbook for middle school or home school children. Volume three covers Unit 9 – Chemical interactions Chapter 41 – The common elements Chapter 42 –How to read the Periodic Table of the elements Chapter 43 – The numbers Chapter 44 – Bohr Diagrams Chapter 45 – Ions and isotopes Chapter 46 – Radioactivity Chapter 47 – Radioactive dating Chapter 48 – compounds Chapter 49 – chemical bonding Chapter 50 – Ionic bonds Chapter 51 – covalent bonds Chapter 52 – metallic bonds Unit 10 – Chemical Equations Chapter 53 – Types of chemical reactions Chapter 54 – Rates of reactions Chapter 55 – Balancing chemical equations Chapter 56 – Exothermic reactions Chapter 57 – Endothermic reactions Unit 11 – Solutions Chapter 58 – Solutions Chapter 59 – Solubility Chapter 60 –Acids and bases Chapter 61 – Neutralization reactions Chapter 62 – The pH scale Unit 12 – Carbon Chemistry Chapter 63 - Organic Chemistry Chapter 64 – Hydrocarbons Chapter 65 – Double and Triple Bonds Chapter 66 – Petroleum Chapter 67 – Polymers Unit 13 – Waves Chapter 68 – Waves Chapter 69 – Electromagnetic Spectrum Chapter 70 – Optics Chapter 71 – Magnetism Unit 14 – Pseudoscience Chapter 72 – The dangers of Pseudoscience
