The Ross Lattner IntuitivChemistry series is different The Ross Periodic Table is a powerful new way to approach the periodic table, aimed at high school students in their first chemistry course. In Table Manners, your students were introduced to civilized conversation with the Ross Periodic Table. They will love to continue the conversation in Table Talk. In Table Talk, the three simple concepts cultivated in Table Manners are directed at the more difficult problems in senior high school chemistry. Oxidation states, redox reactions, and organic chemistry are covered, followed by energy in chemical reactions, dipoles, and finally acids and bases. Throughout the series, we maintain a consistent approach that brings all of these chemical phenomena under your students' intuitive understanding. Your students will gain a level of fluency that is simply not possible using other approaches. Teachers and parents both know that personal competency is the only reliable foundation upon which to build a student's self-esteem and confidence. Compatible with the emerging consensus on the nature of science. Works with, not against, students' natural cognitive growth. Integrates language with learning"
