We re involved with the National Science Resource Center, the partnership between the National Academies and the Smithsonian Institution. Hands-on, inquiry-based science has to be the answer, and it has to be taught by well-informed and well-trained teachers. 

Board s Executive Committee and recently was elected to the office of first vice chair, the Chemical Engineering Advisory Board at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, the Advisory Board of the National Science Resources Center, the Advisory Board for the College of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, the National Research Council s Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology and the Michigan Molecular Institute Board. 

CATHERINE A. GRUBER is an assistant editor with the Space Studies Board (SSB). She joined the SSB as a senior program assistant in 1995. Ms. Gruber first came to the NRC in 1988 as a senior secretary for the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board and has also worked as an outreach assistant for the National Academy of Sciences-Smithsonian Institution s National Science Resources Center. She was a research assistant (chemist) in the National Institute of Mental Health s Laboratory of Cell Biology for 2 years. She has a B.A. in natural science from St. Mary s College of Maryland.

The atomic symbols are linked to the names of the elements. The links are not always obvious, however. Many atomic symbols are derived from the names of the elements in a language other than English, such as Latin, Greek, German, or Arabic. With your classmates, research the origin and significance of the name of each element. Go to the web site above. Go to Science Resources, then to Chemistry 11 to find out where to go next. See if you can infer the rules that are used to create the atomic symbols from the names of the elements. 

Science Resources, then to Chemistry 11 to know where to go next. It has a special section for students who are interested in mining and metallurgy careers. This section lists education in the field, scholarships and bursaries, and student societies for mining and metallurgy. 

Compare their similarities and differences. Which version(s) do you prefer, and why To start your search, go to the web site above. Go to Science Resources, then to Chemistry 11 to find out where to go next. 

Sometimes a moving picture is worth a thousand words. To enhance your understanding, your teacher will demonstrate the titration procedure described in this textbook. In addition, some web sites provide downloadable or real-time titration movies to help students visualize the procedure and its techniques. Go to the web site above, then to Science Resources and to Chemistry 11 to see where to go next. Compare the different demonstrations you can find and observe, including your teacher s. Prepare your own set of "Titration Tips" to help you recall important details. 

To help you with your research, visit www.school. mcgrawhill.ca/resources/ go to Science Resources, then to Chemistry 11 for web site suggestions. 

Canada s land mass has experienced dynamic changes over tens of millions of years. Climatic conditions, along with the deposition of countless remains of organisms, created the areas in which petroleum is found today. These areas are called sedimentary basins. Where are the sedimentary basins Are they all active sites for oil and gas extraction How much oil and gas do scientists estimate there is How do Canada s reserves compare with those of other petroleum-producing nations Go to the web site above to "tap" into Canada s and the world s petroleum resources. Goto Science Resources, then to Chemistry 11 to find out where to go next. Decide on a suitable format in which to record your findings.

In the K-12 arena, there is a group known as the National Science Resource Center (NSRC) based in Washington, D.C., which is sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution, the National Science Foundation, and the National Academy of Sciences. The NSRC is involved in K-12 educational improvement in the math and sciences. They do have a website, so I will refer you to that if you are looking at sponsorship and support for a very active K-12 support. 

As such, this first chapter represents what you normally expect from a textbook or other science resource, which is a set of straightforward explanations. If you do own Chemistry Basics, comparing this chapter to that book will provide a clear example of what it s like to learn science concepts with and without use of the Learning Cycle.
