Editorial Review:
Designed to encourage active and collaborative learning in the physical chemistry classroom, this text is a collection of group activities (ChemActivities) that can accompany any physical chemistry text. These ChemActivities teach students how to think like scientists, rather than simply memorizing important conclusions arrived at by great scientists of the past. - Clearly labeled scientific "Models" appear throughout each ChemActivity in bulleted and illustrated formats. These explanations of scientific theories help students develop their conceptual understanding of the material.
- "Critical-Thinking Questions" appear after each "Model" and ask students to explore ideas in a number of ways. Students might be required to explain a concept, draw a molecule, complete a table, or write an explanation about a topic to another student.

A Good P-Chem Supplement! 2008-06-30
Everyone knows P-Chem is one of the harder chemistry courses out there, and one of the main reasons is that most of the P-Chem textbooks are so poorly written. Tough this book is not a textbook, in some ways it surpasses the major P-Chem textbooks in use out there because it takes complicated p-chem concepts and breaks them down into simpler concepts.
Like I said earlier, this is not really a textbook - in fact, it is more like a workbook. Each section begins with descriptive information about a subject followed by related questions that stack on each other that as you answer them lead you to understanding the larger concept at-hand.
This book is great for studying for exams - or at least the ones I took in P-Chem II and the American Chemical Society (ACS) final exam.
The reason I gave it four stars instead of five was that sometimes it asks you to draw conclusions that are a little too far apart based on the information you're given, and I think the author (Moog) might be forgetting what it's like to be learning this for the first time. It might help to also obtain the solutions manual (ISBN: 978-0618308576 or 0618308571). I had it and found that looking at some of the problem's solutions helped me to understand what direction they were trying to lead me.
All-in-all a pretty useful book, and an improvement when it comes to P-Chem resources.
