Colourful Solutions for Chemistry IB
Edition: by Charles Collingwood
|
Colourful solutions contains 10 books covering the IB requirement
for Standard and Higher Level
Each Chapter covers a different Theme
Each Section has background theory, worked examples
and programmable tests.
The Programmable tests generate (with the exception
of the language based tests) a near infinite series of questions
for unlimited practice. The user controls the number of questions
as well as time allowed, for greater flexibility. They are
designed to be either projected onto a white board or may
be attempted directly from the computer. There is an option
after each test is completed to generate an printable analysis.

Real benefits for students
►
Pass those exams
To pass IB chemistry exams an understanding of structure is fundamental
to the majority of the concepts that follow. This software takes
you through each idea in turn, with clear explanations and worked
examples drawn from past papers. At the end of each section you
can test yourself using the programmable tests until you are certain
that you have the concepts under control. Practice, practice, practice.
►
Online help and support - a book that finally talks back to you!
A Chemistry teacher in-House... For the first time a book with
real answers! If you have any problem with your studies you can
contact the IB helpline. A helping hand for those last minute doubts
during study.
