Teacher edition. This cross-disciplinary publication serves to support the teaching of first-year chemistry using stories about Texas as the vehicle. The stories support critical thinking and problem-solving skills in chemistry based on the facts, fiction, and folklore of Texas. Each chemistry problem in the book is associated with a story of Texas and how the study of chemistry is truly an integral part of our lives. Many stories are career-oriented and give readers bragging rights about what is unique and wonderful about Texas and Texans. The stories serve to make chemistry both engaging and enlightening for everyone. They are perfect for use as "bell ringers" or for other times when supplemental materials are needed, like go-to alternatives for unexpected lessons or for culminating review activities when preparing for the end-of-course exams. This supplement to your textbook is meant to fascinate both science and non-science students since it has something to offer to both. Teachers should appreciate the rigor of the problems steeped in stoichiometry skill-building, but should also approach the 99 readings as fun and inspiring because in many instances it is very evident that it is not just a saying—what starts in Texas really does changed the world!
