What do Chemistry teachers say?
"I have been teaching IB Chemistry for the last 22 years, and I have found the Pearson textbook to be a highly valuable resource in delivering the new curriculum. It provides a full coverage of the revised syllabus and it facilitates student's understanding even regarding the more challenging parts of the course. The inclusion of TOK and Global content questions allows clear connections between the subject and real world issues…The current version of the textbook has been an essential teaching tool for my IB Chemistry class this year and my students certainly enjoyed it."
