Everything You Need to Ace Chemistry in One Big Fat Notebook. (Big Fat Notebooks).

Bought this Feb 2025. I love the layout of the book it's easy to follow along, get a refresher and would be easy in theory to teach kids with however I would recommend fully reading each book by the Workman before handing them to your kids as there may be typos like; water is (CO2) not (H2O) in the Chemistry book but it's correct in the biology book and it doesn't cover everything which I wouldn't expect it to for the price. If you look at the 1-3 Star reviews they mention a few they believe are typos unfortunately they don't mention what pages they are on or show the full page, Some commented that it says the Protons are Negative, my copy states it correctly (Picture above) I have found some of the other pages people were talking about and taken pictures with the page number included. Some books like the Biology book talk about LGBTQ+ genders (in pictures above) and the English Language Arts books has non-binary pronouns I haven't heard of. I have no problem with the LGBTQ community but it's a topic I would like to talk with my child about myself when I choose is the best time not learn it from a school book at random. According to reviews on the History book it is biased as it makes it sound like the Nazis weren't targeting the Jews among many other historical issues and never mentions anything women have done). I intend to have some more proficient in Chemistry review the book for errors, I will update more than.

This book is amazing! The main reason I bought this book was that, i am studying for my doctor degree in pharmacy and there is a lot of concept that i don’t remember because its been a while. This book help you understand the basics and it get you to a higher level of knowledge in chemistry. Its doesn’t matter if you have a degree in biology with a minor in chemistry like me or you want to learn chemistry. Doesn’t matter the circumstances, you will learn easy and fast.

Very informative and easy to understand.

This book is great and very educational, HOWEVER on the periodic table (pages 138 & 139) the Groups and Periods are switched, and on the chapter with electron configuration, it explains nothing of how to write or configure electron configuration.

My 8th grader really enjoyed receiving this book as a gift. He just looks through and reads sections randomly and comes shares facts with me.

Good. Informative. Had info in there that I definitely needed

Excellent resource for 8th - 12th graders. Nice sized print, and includes multi-colored highlights. Highly recommend

Excellent purchase. Wish they issue more books on other.topics like high school

These books by this author are excellent! I have purchased most of them to help my kids understand basic concepts for each subject. They are very easy to follow and understand. I love the formatting of the books.

Il libro è ben fatto. Ho apprezzato tantissimo la suddivisione delle pagine con sistemi colorati e nozioni semplificate. Io l'ho acquistato in aggiunta al volume dedicato a matematica come ausilio al mio metodo per le ripetizioni. Trovo che il volume di matematica sia però più completo, in un certo senso. Mi sento comunque di raccomandarlo come valido aiuto allo studio per i concetti di chiave della materia.

Livro excelente!

Gives a good basic idea of chemistry. It's also a valuable book if one already knows more about Chemistry to refresh one's memory.
