Chemistry in the Community
by American Chemical Society"Chemistry in the Community is a post-secondary chemistry course structured around applied community issues related to chemistry rather than around specific chemical concepts. Concepts are presented on a ""need-to-know"" basis, allowing students to experience chemistry on first hand. The course is about 50% laboratory-based, and features activities where students must apply their chemistry knowledge to realistic decision-making situations."

Chemistry in the Community: Chemcom
by American Chemistry SocietyNIMAC-sourced textbook <P><P>Touted as the most successful NSF-funded project published, Chemistry in the Community (ChemCom) by the American Chemical Society (ACS) offers a meaningful and memorable chemistry program for all levels of high school students. ChemCom covers traditional chemistry topics within the context of societal issues and real-world scenarios. Centered on decision-making activities where students are responsible for generating data in an investigating, analyzing that data and then applying their chemistry knowledge to solve the presented problem. The text is intensively laboratory-based, with all 39 of the investigations integrated within the text, not separate from the reading. With the ChemCom program, students learn more organic and biochemistry, more environmental and industrial chemistry, and more on the particulate nature of matter than other textbooks all within the relevance of solving problems that arise in everyday life. <P><P>Meticulously updated to meet the needs of today's teachers and students, the new sixth edition of ChemCom adheres to the new science framework as well as the forthcoming next generation of science standards. Incorporating advances in learning and cognitive sciences, ChemCom’s wide-ranging coverage builds upon the concepts and principles found in the National Science Education Standards. Correlations are available showing how closely aligned ChemCom is to these and other state standards
Modeling with Mathematics: A Bridge to Algebra II
by Nancy Crisler Gary SimundzaWith the emphasis the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) places on modeling, Modeling With Mathematics: A Bridge to Algebra II (Bridge 2e) addresses these modeling requirements while helping prepare students for success in Algebra II. Intended for students who have taken Algebra I and Geometry but who are not yet ready for Algebra II, this program helps solidify their understanding by providing a different kind of learning experience. With Bridge 2e students model real-world applications with a functions approach netting a deeper grasp of the important concepts necessary for success in Algebra II and on the forthcoming Common Core assessments.

Statistical Reasoning in Sports
by Josh Tabor Christine FranklinOffering a unique and powerful way to introduce the principles of statistical reasoning, Statistical Reasoning in Sports features engaging examples and a student-friendly approach. Starting from the very first chapter, students are able to ask questions, collect and analyze data, and draw conclusions using randomization tests. Is it harder to shoot free throws with distractions? We explore this question by designing an experiment, collecting the data, and using a hands-on simulation to analyze results. Completely covering the Common Core Standards for Probability and Statistics, Statistical Reasoning in Sports is an accessible and fun way to learn about statistics!
Statistics Through Applications
by Daren S. Starnes Daniel S. Yates David S. MooreWatch avideo introduction here. Statistics Through Applications (STA)is the only text written specifically for high school statistics course. Designed to be read, the book takes a data analysis approach that emphasizes conceptual understanding over computation, while recognizing that some computation is necessary. The focus is on the statistical thinking behind data gathering and interpretation. The high school statistics course is often the first applied math course students take. STAengages students in learning how statisticians contribute to our understanding of the world and helps students to become more discerning consumers of the statistics they encounter in ads, economic reports, political campaigns, and elsewhere. New and improved!STA 2efeatures expanded coverage of probability, a reorganized presentation of data analysis, a new color design and much more.
