The IntuitivChemistry series is different The Ross Periodic Table is a pedagogical model of the periodic table, the first periodic table designed for learning. A synthesis of cognitive science plus chemistry, the Ross Table is a powerful representation of the periodic table, aimed at high school students in their first chemistry course.How does it work? Every atom of the main block elements is represented with just three features: the atomic core, the valence radius, and the valence electrons. Using only their natural intuitive reasoning, students make use of these three features to make accurate predictions of chemical behavior.Students will quickly learn these three simple concepts, and apply them to an astonishing number of chemical phenomena. Within a few days, they will accurately predict and explain the behavior of the elements covered in introductory chemistry courses. These concepts will form a strong foundation for all the chemistry you'll teach in high school, and are still useful in college Compatible with the emerging consensus on the nature of science. Works with, not against, students' natural cognitive growth. Integrates language with learning Your students will gain a level of fluency that is not possible using other approaches. As teachers and parents know, personal competency is the only reliable foundation for building self esteem and confidence.In four sets of two-page exercises, the students will cover these essential chemistry topics.Atomic theory, the structure of the periodic table, the Ross model of the atom, and how it matches the periodic tableElectron attraction, electronegativity, metals, non-metals, metalloids and the noble gasesReactions and reactivity of the halogens, the alkali metals, the row three elements, and the noble gases.Chemical bonding, with the emphasis on covalent bonding as the first example. Following that will be polar covalent bonds and then ionic bonding. A quick study of ionic solids, covalent solids, and network solids provides supporting student experiences. Finally, an intuitive approach to electron density provides another view of all of the bond types.That is a lot of topics to cover in such short order. This book is aimed primarily at teachers and parents, to demonstrate the breadth of the Ross diagram and the power of the pedagogical periodic table.The student exercises would provide a memorable experience of essential chemistry. The related teacher guide will provide every parent and teacher with a convincing experience of the utility of the Ross model as a teaching method.

Bring IntuitivChemistry with you into your senior high school chemistry class In Table Manners, you were introduced to a civilized conversation with the Ross Periodic Table. You will love to continue the discussion in Table Talk The same three simple concepts you cultivated in Table Manners are now directed at the more difficult problems in senior high school chemistry. The Ross Periodic Table is a pedagogical model of the periodic table - a periodic table designed for learning.Both books maintain a consistent approach that brings all of these chemical phenomena under your students' intuitive understanding. You will gain a level of fluency that is simply not possible using other approaches. Teachers and parents both know that personal competency is the only reliable foundation upon which to build a student's self-esteem and confidence.Compatible with the emerging consensus on the nature of science.Works with, not against, students' natural cognitive growth.Integrates language with learningInformed by over thirty years of international research into how students learn science, the IntuitivChemistry books directly challenge the everyday misconceptions that students bring to your classroom. In six sets of two page exercises, your students will cover these advanced chemistry topics.Oxidation and reduction (which are dynamic processes) and the concept of oxidation states (which are static properties)The essential concepts of redox reactions, including reactions between elemental metals and non-metals, between elemental non-metals and non-metals, and between covalent molecular compounds.Hydrocarbons and other compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen, the oxidation states of the atoms in such molecules, and redox reactions among organic compounds.Electron potential energy, and how it explains the energetics of the combustion of non-metals, metals, and hydrocarbons.Molecular polarity - the dipolarity of water, alcohols, and carbonyl groupsWhat makes non-metal oxides acidic? Why are metal oxides basic? What governs the strength of the oxy-acids? As in all of the IntuitivScience series, diagrams are the most important mode of learning. We are all visual learners. Every student exercise uses simple diagrams that are easy to learn, diagrams designed to have extraordinary power and depth. The diagrams are based upon the mental models that all of us use to make sense of the world, so they feel "intuitive." And they are tested carefully against demands of good scientific theory. You will use the Ross model of the atom, a simplified version of the atom that "works" the way that young people think.Parents and teachers, you get one half of the book Each two-page student activity is accompanied by a two-page teacher / parent guide, so you can help your student proceed. At the end of each section is a thorough quiz.

Route 66 is a beloved and much studied symbol of twentieth-century America. But until now, no book has focused on the bridges that spanned the rivers, creeks, arroyos, and railroads between Chicago and Santa Monica. In this handsome volume, Route 66 authority and veteran writer and photographer Jim Ross examines the origins and history of the bridges of America's most famous highway, structures designed to overcome obstacles to travel, many of them engineered with architectural aesthetics now lost to time. Featuring hundreds of Ross's own photographs, Route 66 Crossings showcases bridges ranging in design from timber to steel and concrete, and provides schematics, maps, and global coordinates to help readers identify and locate them. Ross's comprehensive accounting of structures along the Mother Road's various alignments includes bridges still in use, those that have vanished or have been abandoned, and the few consciously preserved as monuments. He also recognizes ancillary structures that enhanced safety and helped facilitate traffic, such as railway grade separations, tunnels, and pedestrian underpasses. Ross seeks to encourage ongoing preservation of the structures that remain. In brilliant color and precise detail, Route 66 Crossings expands our knowledge of the bridges that linked America's first all-weather national highway.

This is the thoughtful, action-packed memoir of one American soldier’s combat tour in Vietnam in 1970. It opens with a tense ambush patrol and doesn’t let up through a year of hair-raising night watches, soggy humps through the jungle, and deadly encounters with the North Vietnamese. The author served as a rifleman, machine gunner, tunnel rat, and demolitions man with the U.S. Army’s 25th “Tropic Lightning” Infantry Division and the 1st Cavalry Division. His memoir focuses on the experiences of the men on the ground in Vietnam and the realities of combat, and the result is moving and unforgettable, one of the very best in a crowded field of Vietnam War memoirs.
