Overview

Living by Chemistry, Fourth Edition gives students the tools to understand chemistry by doing chemistry. Built on a guided-inquiry, activity-a-day approach, the program emphasizes phenomena-based learning, scientific thinking, and real-world connections that bring chemistry to life. The program’s thematic unit structure supports student engagement by anchoring core chemistry concepts in relevant, accessible questions—like “How does the nose know?” and “What is fire?” Each lesson guides students to ask questions, collect evidence, and build understanding through collaboration and hands-on activities. This new edition includes updated and expanded content aligned to Earth & Physical Sciences standards from national and state frameworks. New “Try It!” problems provide immediate practice following illustrative examples, while revised “Connections” reading checks reinforce comprehension. Teachers will also find A complete, ready-to-teach program, available with our digital platform Achieve New or revised problems throughout New bulleted summaries at the end of each chapter Concept Maps that visually organize content at the end of each unit Six updated, multi-step Engineering Projects aligned to NGSS practices A new “See Yourself in Chemistry” feature that highlights real-world careers using chemistry Living by Chemistry, 4e supports all learners in thinking like scientists—and seeing chemistry everywhere (plus it’s fun!)
