About the Author\nAfter receiving his BS in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University, John D. Mays spent 14 years in industry in engineering and engineering management in the areas of electrical, control, and telecommunications systems. Vocationally drawn toward the field of education, John acquired an MEd in Secondary Education from the University of Houston in 1989, and subsequently completed 36 hours of graduate study in Physics at Texas A&M. Shortly after joining the faculty at Regents School of Austin in 1999, John began work on an MLA at St. Edward's University, which he completed in 2003. John served as Math-Science Department Chair at Regents School for nine years and as Director of the Laser Optics Lab for 10 years. He founded Novare Science & Math in 2009 and is the author of numerous science texts and teacher resources. He now works full time as Director of Science Curriculum for Classical Academic Press.

Classical Academic Press

"Favorite Experiments" received recommendation by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). This book contains 11 experiments and 65 demonstrations for high school physics and introductory chemistry. Each experiment is explained in detail with comments about objectives, safety, measurement practices, apparatus and pre-lab discussion points. Also, each experiment contains color photo illustrations and a photo-copyable student handout.

This book is designed for science programs that are budget-conscious. Each experiment can be conducted with a minimum of expense using standard science equipment and household items. The book also describes how high-tech enhancements can be added later on when funds become available.

High quality paperback, sewn-binding with four-color offset printing on quality matte paper.

Science for Every Teacher

The Student Lab Report Handbook is a concise student resource to help learn how to prepare a premier lab report. Syntax, voice, tense, word choice, technical expression, data analysis and error prediction are all discussed. This book is not specific to any discipline so it can be used with physics, biology, chemistry or any other subject.

The Student Lab Report Handbook

Product Description In home settings or schools without standard lab fixtures (gas jets, vent hoods, etc), conducting effective chemistry experiments is a challenge. Many publishers make experiments so easy that the chemistry principles in focus are not well illustrated. Oftentimes the learning goal is absent or unclear. The student may end up performing steps that she doesnt understand to witness a chemical reaction that she also doesnt understand. Home educators may see no other option but to resort to easy experiments using household items. Novare Science has the goal of helping educators of all sorts implement an excellent science education program. In the chemistry lab, this means bringing students into the real chemist experience. It requires effort, skill, and patience learning and observing universal safety procedures, use of correct terminology, use of apparatus, skills of measurement, recording, documentation, cleanup and waste disposal. The best educated students will also take some time to learn the background of an experiment, how to analyze results, and how to write a premier lab report. Chemistry Experiments for High School at Home is a student manual designed to bring top quality chemistry experiments to the context where standard lab facilities are unavailable. Equipment and procedures accommodate limited facilities without losing the essential educational value. This book has low-cost alternatives to expensive equipment and recommendations for procuring small quantities of chemicals. Each experiment includes Learning Objectives, Text Connections (for General Chemistry and Chemistry for Accelerated Students textbooks), Lab Skills Focus, Materials and Apparatus List, safety issues, Background, Procedure, as well as any special waste disposal matters. Pages are perforated so that students can remove the Short Form Report Sheets for each experiment. About the Author After receiving his BS in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University, John D.
