Free Books!

If you've been to this site before, you know that I used to sell lab manuals and other useful books for teachers on this site.  Well, I hadn't counted on the fact that being in the book business takes more time and effort than I have to spare.  That left me with two choices:  I could just delete the books page and pretend like they never existed, or I could give them away for free, in electronic form.  As you've probably guesses, I did the latter.  As a result, you can find links to the books below.

• 24 Lessons That Rocked The World:  Twenty-four complete labs, with teacher instructions, safety information, an instructional sheet for the kids, a lab worksheet, a homework sheet, and solutions.  This link takes you to an even longer disclaimer before you get to use the book - it's annoying, I know, but I'd rather subject you to that than get sued.
•  
• 17 Effective Activities For New Chemistry Teachers: Seventeen more labs for chemistry teachers, focusing on the basics. This has been offered free on this site for some time, but I figure, hey, let's stick it here anyhow.
•  
• The Complete Book of Chemistry Quizzes and Practice Problems, Volume 1:  The first semester of chemistry in quiz and practice problem form.  I'll also be honest with you - there's not going to be a second volume, so enjoy this one!
•  
• NEW: My complete lecture notes, more labs, all of the books above (including a revised version of the quizzes), and new worksheets!

 

That's it for the free books.  I've got three other books, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chemistry, The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Chemistry, and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Organic Chemistry, but since a big official publisher (Alpha) is handling them, you've got to pay.  In fact, why don't you head over to Amazon or Barnes and Noble and purchase them now!  I could sure use the dough!
