How can we decide what concentration of arsenic is acceptable in public drinking water? What does it mean to say that Vitamin D is a highly toxic chemical? How can we balance the risks of spraying pesticides versus the risks of insect-borne diseases such as West Nile Virus, Lyme Disease, or Malaria? Students discover the answers to these intriguing questions and more by delving into the Cornell Scientific Inquiry Series: Assessing Toxic Risk, Student Edition. It includes five chapters of background text on the basic concepts of toxicology. Also included are planning forms, presentation guidelines, and peer review forms that guide students through self-designed research projects that encourage critical thinking. This integrated approach allows students to discover firsthand the natural links between biology, chemistry, environmental science, and human health.

Overwhelmed by orbitals? Terrified of thermodynamics? Agitated by acids and bases? Have no fear! This follow-up to the award-winning Chemistry Basics will clear up your chemistry woes.
In More Chemistry Basics, the ninth book in the Stop Faking It! series, author Bill Robertson introduces additional chemistry concepts, such as special reactions and half-lives, and expands on many previously discussed ideas, including electron energy levels and why we can't know exactly what electrons are doing and where they are. Roberston explains science basics using easy-to-follow activities that help teachers learn the fundamentals and more.
Like other books in this series, More Chemistry Basics will prove invaluable for teachers, parents, and home-school providers who want to feel greater confidence in the content they teach. Roberson's humourous and honest approach will help you brush up on chemisty concepts and feel more prepared, even excited, to teach chemistry to your students.
