This textbook provides support for the Foundations of Chemistry outcomes. Each unit is framed around big ideas and includes a suggested end-of-unit project. Each of this resource's chapters begins with a launch activity and incorporates learning checks, suggested activities, sample problems, practice problems, and a suggested inquiry investigation. Each chapter concludes with a summary, review, and self-assessment. This textbook provides STSE (Science-Technology-Society-Environment) special features to bring real-world relevance to the topics of study that include: a Quirks and Quarks section based on the CBC program, a Chemistry Connections section to provide personal relevance, and Case Studies to highlight relevant cases of study occurring in the real world. The textbook does not address First Nations and Métis content, perspectives or ways of knowing.
