Supported in Achieve
Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full flexible range of instruction, including resources to support learning of core concepts, visualization, problem-solving and assessment.  Powerful analytics and instructor support resources in Achieve pair with exceptional Introductory Chemistry content to provide an unrivaled learning experience.

Achieve supports educators and students throughout the full flexible range of instruction.

• The Achieve design is guided by learning science research through extensive collaboration and testing by both students and faculty including two levels of Institutional Review Board approval for every study.
• Achieve features a flexible suite of resources to support learning core concepts, visualization, problem-solving, and assessment. All student and instructor resources can be assigned or downloaded in Achieve.
• The iClicker classroom engagement system syncs with the Achieve gradebook.
• Gradebook integration can be set up with your campus LMS and with Inclusive Access programs.
• The Achieve gradebook provides insights for just-in-time teaching and reporting on student and full class achievement by learning objective.  Powerful analytics and instructor resources in Achieve pair with exceptional Introductory Chemistry content to provide an unrivaled learning experience.

New media and assessment features in Achieve include:

• New Capstone Questions integrate concepts from each chapter and between several chapters to reinforce understanding of content and practice general problem-solving strategies. In a video that appears in the eBook, Kevin walks students through these strategies, preparing them to solve similar problems on their own.
• New Guided Practice Interactives offer no/low-stakes practice for the most difficult problem-solving concepts in introductory chemistry. These interactives guide students step-by-step through unit conversions, rearranging equations, balancing charges, and stoichiometry problems, building skills and confidence. When assigned through Achieve, follow-up questions (with feedback) reinforce what theyve learned.
• New Quick Recall Interactives  focus students on drilling the information in chemistry that they must memorize to achieve success, such as identifying ionic charges.
• LearningCurve assignments serve up low Blooms level problems to solidify students grasp on core concepts. The adaptive, game-like learning tool guides students by providing extra practice where they need it

Features of the text include:

• Relatable Writing Style
• Concise, yet compelling narrative
• Chapter-Opening Stories ground each chapter in stories of real people and how the chemistry concepts in the chapter are applied to real-world problems. Stories are revisited at the end of the chapter for a deeper understanding using what students have learned.
• Intended Learning Outcomes at the beginning of each chapter prepare students for the chapter’s content.
• Engaging Analogies taken directly from Kevin’s years in the classroom contextualize difficult chemical concepts, expressing big ideas to students in a framework they will understand.
• Personal Stories from author provide friendly and welcoming tone to relate content to everyday life and encourage students to draw from their own experiences in thinking scientifically
• Coaching author voice from passionate teacher, Kevin Revell

Digital assets are an extension of the author’s voice and vision.
Focusing on foundational concepts

• Lecture videos. All content from the written text is also presented in videos created by Kevin, so instructors can easily implement active learning in the class and students can watch videos along with or in lieu of reading.
• Quick Recall Interactives focus students on drilling the information in chemistry that they must memorize to achieve success, such as identifying ionic charges.
• LearningCurve assignments serve up low Blooms level problems to solidify students grasp on core concepts. The adaptive, game-like learning tool guides students by providing extra practice where they need it

Focusing on visualization

• Digital interactives allow students to explore chemistry concepts such as the interactions between two elements. Built-in guidance helps them recognize patterns and draw conclusions from the experience. 
• The e-book also contains conceptual animations and reaction videos.  All of these assets are also used as visual resources in assessment questions.
• Three NEW atomic view interactives enhance visualization of molecular concepts by allowing students to zoom into everyday settings to see the underlying chemical structures of common substances.
• Blue "Explore" boxes in the print margin identify a variety of media: animations, videos, (guided inquiry) interactives, and zoom maps that enhance whatever figure or other content is in print.

Focusing on Problem-Solving Skills and Practice

• New Guided Practice Interactives offer no/low-stakes practice for the most difficult problem-solving concepts in introductory chemistry. These interactives guide students step-by-step through unit conversions, rearranging equations, balancing charges, and stoichiometry problems, building skills and confidence. When assigned through Achieve, follow-up questions (with feedback) reinforce what theyve learned.
• Problem-solving videos for every in-text problem in the e-book.
• Extensive problem library, including selected problems from Revell’s end of chapter questions with hints, targeted feedback, and detailed solutions for all study questions to ensure student learning.
• New Capstone Questions integrate concepts from each chapter and between several chapters to reinforce understanding of content and practice general problem-solving strategies. In a video that appears in the eBook, Kevin walks students through these strategies, preparing them to solve similar problems on their own.

Unrivaled Instructor Support Package (created by author, Kevin Revel)

Support your lecture, online or in class

• Lecture PPTs can be used by instructors to create their own lecture videos. These arent just slides with pictures and bullet lists, they include scripts (in slide notes) and animations that Kevin uses to create the lecture videos, which cover the whole book.
• Images PPTs allow flexibility to create your own presentation decks with the text specific art and images.
• Lecture Videos-all created by Kevin Revell to align with text section content
• Lecture Video Outlines provide students with a pared down set of lecture slides for taking notes, allowing them to associate their own thoughts and questions with provided figures and exercises.

Supports the Active Classroom

• iClicker Questions provide instructors with ready-made assessments for use in the classroom to evaluate student learning in real time.
• Speed Drills, available in the instructor resources slides for use in class, provide questions written by the author to assess student mastery in timed challenge quizzes.
• In-Class Activities and Worksheets pair with Interactives to keep students engaged during class by providing problems for them to try on their own.
