In our ongoing effort to meet the new and changing needs of instructors and students, we are pleased to announce the availability of a "Build-Your-Own" Solving Real Problems with Chemistry. Each of the 23 activities from the 2nd edition of this book are available for individual purchase at the budget-friendly price of only $2 each.

If you're interested in adding selected content to your course, you can now do so without having to adopt the entire book. Why not consider adding an activity or two (or more!) to your course, giving your chemistry students practice using their learning to solve real-world problems and improve their problem-solving skills?

Instructors: If you have elected to use one or more of the activities in your course and have asked your students to purchase and download them, please let us know so that we may furnish you with the help pages and answer keys for the activities you plan to use. Be sure to send your e-mail from your university e-mail account, as we'll need to verify your status as an instructor.
