My name is Bond, Hydrogen Bond. Written for distance scholars working on chemistry at the high school level, the lesson includes eight weeks worth of material divided into six parts: substances you use, mixing it up, your skin, what's growing on your skin, dissolve it, and good medicine. Each part includes hands-on activities, research, and analysis. The final project is an inquiry-based experiment combining the concepts of colloids, solutions, and suspensions.
