The cover art represents how the presence of certain chemicals in natural resources such as water can have an impact on the state of our world. The authors of this book believe that understanding the fundamental science behind issues in sustainability and environmentalism is just as important as taking action on those issues.
Written with non-science majors in mind, ChemActivities and LabActivities for General Education Chemistry uses a blend of traditional and guided-inquiry teaching formats to bring a broad range of current and historical chemistry topics to the modern university student. The activities and laboratory experiments encourage students to grow not only as chemistry students, but also as critical thinkers, deep readers, and resourceful members of a team.
