The Big Fat Notebook series helps middle-school and high-school students master their studies. This one is for chemistry, written in the same humorous style, with important concepts explained in ways that make sense to young learners. It covers structure of matter, chemical reactions, biochemistry, acids and bases, and much more. Each chapter explains a concept on one page
Summary The Big Fat Notebooks go to high school! A lively, fully illustrated guide to acing high school chemistry, with clear notes on the big ideas, helpful tips for memorizing processes and remembering definitions, and lively doodles that make science easier to understand (and fun to study).
Chemistry? No problem!
This Big Fat Notebook covers everything you need to know during a year of high school chemistry class, breaking down one big bad subject into accessible units. Learn to study better and get better grades using mnemonic devices, definitions, diagrams, educational doodles, and quizzes to recap it all.
