Chemistry First
George Bethell, David Coppock
- Reading
- Try a topic section at a time: pause at its questions, then use the activities to check which ideas have stuck. If a concept feels demanding, revisit it before moving on.
- Themes
- Learning chemistry through everyday examples: The book connects chemical processes with their effects on everyday life. Chemistry is presented as a subject with practical relevance, through an informational approach rather than a story.
- Worth knowing
- The book is pitched towards able students and includes challenging material. Consider whether the reader is comfortable with science concepts and exam-style study; some material may also suit less able older students.
