Description
The Virtual Laboratory Edition of Carl Snyder’s Extraordinary Chemistry of Ordinary Things puts the science of chemistry in the hands of its students.  Featuring integrated web-based virtual laboratory experiments throughout the text, Extraordinary Chemistry now enables instructors to incorporate laboratory exercises into their course, even if their students do not attend a regular lab session.  In doing so, instructors can now demonstrate the process of scientific inquiry, and students can apply real laboratory methods to reinforce the concepts they are learning.       

Designed for a one or two term course at the freshman or sophomore level, this introductory text is intended for non-majors.  Snyder’s unique approach uses consumer products to illustrate chemical principles.  The text is known in the field for its strong consumer emphasis.  By addressing many of the resulting issues from a societal perspective, Snyder shows his readers how chemistry affects their lives.  Real life applications help construct a knowledge base from which to better understand core concepts and to make informed decisions.
