Contextual Chemistry

About This Curriculum
Contextual Chemistry, produced by Conceptual Academy, is the video version of Chemistry in Context, a project of the American Chemical Society. It is also an abbreviated and re-structured revision of its older sister, Conceptual Chemistry, which is a successful concept-oriented textbook designed for liberal arts college chemistry courses. Within Contextual Chemistry select key concepts are developed in a clear step-wise fashion with an emphasis given to the societal and environmental applications of those key concepts.
