Overview

For Grade Level 10-12

This book was created to help teachers as they instruct students through the Master’s Class Chemistry course by Master Books. The teacher is one who guides students through the subject matter, helps each student stay on schedule and be organized, and is their source of accountability along the way. With that in mind, this guide provides additional help through the laboratory exercises, as well as lessons, quizzes, and examinations that are provided along with the answers.

The lessons in this study emphasize working through procedures and problem solving by learning patterns. The vocabulary is kept at the essential level. Practice exercises are given with their answers so that the patterns can be used in problem solving. These lessons and laboratory exercises are the result of over 30 years of teaching home school high school students and then working with them as they proceed through college. Guided labs are provided to enhance instruction of weekly lessons.

There are many principles and truths given to us in Scripture by the God that created the universe and all of the laws by which it functions. It is important to see the hand of God and His principles and wisdom as it plays out in chemistry. This course integrates what God has told us in the context of this study.

Home Science Tools has assembled a chemistry lab kit for the course. You will find it here: https://www.homesciencetools.com/product/lab-kit-for-master-books-chemistry/

Features: Each suggested weekly schedule has five easy-to-manage lessons that combine reading and worksheets. Worksheets, quizzes, and tests are perforated and three-hole punched — materials are easy to tear out, hand out, grade, and store. Adjust the schedule and materials needed to best work within your educational program. Space is given for assignments dates. There is flexibility in scheduling. Adapt the days to your school schedule.

Workflow: Students will read the pages in their book and then complete each section of the teacher guide. They should be encouraged to complete as many of the activities and projects as possible as well. Tests are given at regular intervals with space to record each grade.

Great curriculum!
Review by Crystal
The teacher guide is a necessary and helpful companion to the Chemistry course. It includes all the worksheets, quizzes, tests, lab worksheets, and answer keys. In addition, there are helpful hints, instructions on how to use and grade the course, and the suggested daily guide. I enjoy how simply MB lays everything out for both the student and the parent.
Brilliant Course
Review by Lexie
We decided to use this Masterbooks course for our daughter's chemistry high school credit. The course is divided up so that you cover one chapter per week and do an experiment along with it. It was somewhat surprising to see that the quizzes are suggested for day 3 of a 5 day week with the experiments following on days 4-5, but we are giving it a try. The chapters aren't too long or overwhelming so I believe we will stick with the schedule long term. The lessons are somewhat shorter so my daughter is doing well with them, whereas a long, drawn out chapter would easily bring on frustration for her. The teachers guide contains worksheets, lab reports, quizzes, tests, and answers to all of those. I love this concept about Masterbooks as not having an additional answer key to spend money on is greatly appreciated. The textbook itself is very colorful and inviting, drawing the reader in with wonderful pictures and presenting information from a very Christ centered perspective. The text and information presented is very upper level so I highly suggest using this during a junior or senior year in high school.
Great Chemistry Course
Review by Lacee C
Dr. Englin’s Master Class Chemistry is 28 chapters taking the student through the composition, structure, and properties of matter. I love that each science curriculum by Master Books works to not only point the student to our Creator, but also to apply concepts to real life. Students will do worksheets, lab work, quizzes and exams throughout the course, found in this Teacher’s Guide. Algebra I is a prerequisite so this course is better suited to 10th grade and above. Master Books sells a Chemistry kit to go alongside this curriculum and it is needed to do the experiments. You could piece it together on your own, but ultimately it would cost you more unless you already have a significant amount of the supplies. You will definitely want all three components: the student text book, the teacher guide and the lab kit. Each chapter has a lab, done on day four of the week. Every three or four chapters there is a review week before an exam; exams are helpful because Chemistry is a course where concepts continue to build upon each other. While this is definitely a high school level course, I appreciate how easy the text is to follow and understand.
Great high school science course
Review by Kathleen C
Suggested for a 10th-12th grade student


The Master’s Class Chemistry Teacher Guide includes worksheets with weekly assignments, lab charts, and lab journaling pages, as well as answer keys for worksheets, quizzes, labs, and exams.


List of supplies needed for labs (with pictures for clarity)
Sample Lab Reports
Grading rubric
Record-keeping sheet for grades


Full-year schedule is broken up by Semester, Quarter, Week, and Day.

There is an Academy course for this book. It has approximately two videos each week. One teaches the topic and the other is the lab. This is a great resource for a child who likes to learn visually. It is also really helpful to follow along with the lab as you are doing it at home.
Excellent course!
Review by Becky V.
The Master’s Class Chemistry Set is an excellent introductory science course for your upper high-school student (10th-12th grade). It is a one-year course that will earn your student 1 credit with labs. Time investment is about five hours per week. A pre-requisite of Algebra 1 is required. A Chemistry Supply Kit can be purchased through Master Books. At first glance of this course, I am so excited to go through this course with each of my kids as they experience learning Chemistry with a strong Christian worldview.

The student text is well laid out with a balance of text and colorful graphics. Each chapter lists the objectives for the lesson that are to be learned, along with new vocabulary.

If you follow the suggested schedule in the teacher guide, the reading is typically done on day 1 with the worksheet to be completed, a review on day 2 focuses on vocabulary, a quiz on day 3, followed by the lab done over days 4-5. It is very manageable for the student.

The teacher guide for this Chemistry course is a must. It contains a suggested daily schedule to complete the course in a year, a grading sheet for the year, and teacher instructions for the course. It also includes all of the worksheets and laboratory reports to go along with the student text as well as all quizzes and exams to be taken.

I appreciate the variety in the worksheets - some are matching, short answer, with the majority of the work done during the lab portion. The teacher guide lays everything out for you to easily guide your student through this course.

Most important of all though, the emphasis is placed in this study of Chemistry on God’s unchanging character and His absolute control of His creation.
Great Course
Review by Yulia
This is a part of Master's Class High School Chemistry Set. The set works perfectly together since The Student book is a textbook, and The Teacher Guide has all worksheets, lab notes sections with the full lab directions, quizzes and exams. The Teacher Guide gives two samples of the lab notes, so students can see what is expected of them. It also works wonderfully for a teacher to see how to correct the labs and what to look for in the student's notes.

Amazing Course!
Review by Krista
The Chemistry course from Master Books is an outstanding choice for students seeking a high-quality chemistry education grounded in a biblical perspective. The course offers clear and thorough explanations of fundamental concepts, complemented by engaging illustrations and hands-on experiments that make learning both enjoyable and effective. The lessons are well-organized and student-friendly, ensuring that complex topics are accessible and understandable. We particularly appreciate the integration of a biblical worldview throughout the course, providing a faith-based context that aligns perfectly with our values. This course not only equips students with essential chemistry knowledge but also reinforces their faith, making it an excellent and enriching educational experience.
A challenging course with all the helps and things you need to succeed!
Review by sara
Looking at this high school level course may seem totally scary, but there’s hope! Master Books makes teaching chemistry a breeze with multiple options to help you succeed! The course book is very appealing and full of color, each chapter is well laid out, from a biblical stand point and easy to teach or give to an independent student. It also goes through lab procedures with pictures when needed, which I appreciate.
The teacher’s guide, like all Master Books courses, has everything you need: worksheets, lab reports, quizzes and exams. A supply list is included and answers in the back to use as you wish.
Now for the help! Master Books offers a supply kit purchase so you do not have to hunt everything down, as well as a Master Books academy video course! This goes over each lesson as well as labs, so you and your student will be a chemistry success in no time!
Great course!
Review by Dustie
Chemistry is one of those subjects that tends to intimidate people. This course is a pleasant surprise. I really like that this course has shorter lessons that allow this complex subject to be digested in bite-sized chunks.
The course is well-organized. Expect to spend an hour or so each day, five days per week on this course. It is definitely a high school level course, heavier than lower levels. Each week there are reading assignments, worksheets, a quiz, and a lab. Every 3 or 4 weeks there is a test to ensure the student is mastering the concepts. I like this design, since the concepts build on one another.
The teacher guide is consistent with other MasterBooks courses. It has the schedule, course objectives, worksheets, quizzes, exams, and answer key. I appreciate that there is a sample lab report for reference. A grade sheet is included, also.
I am so thankful that there is a Master Books Academy course to go along with it.
Overall, it is great to have a creation-based chemistry course that helps prepare the high school student for a college chemistry course and gives them a greater appreciation for the created world.
Useful in Teaching Complex Concepts
Review by Elizabeth
This was so useful. Its breakdown of each lesson, accompanied by clear objectives and suggested teaching strategies, helped to teach complex chemistry concepts to my son. I definitely recommend buying it with the main textbook.
