Standards-aligned content for high school Chemistry

This Chemistry in the Earth System resource includes 6 units, which cover:

  1. Combustion: our forests are burning
  2. Heat and energy in the Earth system: The scientific energy of crystals
  3. Atoms, element and molecules: So many minerals, so few elements
  4. Chemical reactions: The power of a battery
  5. Chemistry of climate change: A few degrees do matter
  6. The dynamics of chemical reactions and ocean acidification: The impact on coral reefs

The first module of each unit introduces an anchoring phenomenon, which is then further explored in the subsequent modules through a combination of observation, exploration and collaboration.
