Abstract
Taking an evidence-first big picture approach, this textbook encourages students to think like a chemist, develop critical understanding of what chemistry is, why it is important and how chemists arrive at their discoveries. Flipping the traditional model of presenting facts and building to applications, it begins with contexts that are real-life and matter to students - from doping in sports, to the chemistry behind the treads of wall-climbing robots.
