| The validation
of Nelson Chemistry Alberta 20-30 included the contributions of over
56 instructors and over 40 schools across the province. This is what
field test participants told us: |
| |
"Teaching strategies/suggestions
are the most useful feature of the TR. Particularly useful for beginning
teachers or those teaching Chemistry without formal background in
the subject"
|
| |
| "The
students noticed right away that the text included up-to-date, modern
examples, including many right here in Alberta" |
| |
| "We
very much enjoyed the web connection activities. They brought to life
many theories and examples. The animations of photosynthesis and cellular
respiration were excellent! Students picked up and retained concepts
much more quickly" |
| |
"This
resource was thorough and user-friendly. It outlined all concepts
and provided sufficient background information." |
| |
| "I
found the teacher's resource very useful. It was very easy to navigate
and linked to the program of studies" |
| |
"Great
diagrams, graphics, and pictures to teach more theoretical concepts"
|
| |
"Excellent
review activities - good mix of multiple-choice and challenging
written response" |
| |
"Knowledge,
skills, STS and technology outcomes are explicitly supported in
the Teacher's Resource" |
| |
"The
technology options are well addressed and supported with great web
links" |
| |
"The
curriculum correlation, curriculum/assessment map and sample planning
pathway will help teachers see the big picture for planning as they
approach the new course" |
