SONGS

In the new 2005 Edition, songs from previous versions of HOLY MOL-EE! have been integrated, renumbered and placed in a more logical order. Several old songs have been redone in an effort to update the music with young adult musical tastes in mind, and many new songs have been added. Both male and female voices were used in a variety of musical styles. There is some rock, and several new raps, one of which was done by the professional rappers, "Down Lo," and others which were done by a young and upcoming star who calls himself Casper.

SCIENCE TOPICS

Topics covered in the 2005 Edition of HOLY MOL-EE! are usually taught within the first half-year of high school chemistry:

TEACHING SLIDES

The Slide Show/Data CD integrates all the graphics from previous HOLY MOL-EE! products and has added MANY, MANY MORE, so you get a total of 673+ PDF transparency designs. These are organized into Adobe Acrobat Slide Shows, viewable with Adobe Reader. There are 22 Teaching Slide Shows and 41 Picto-Lyrics™ Slide Shows, which, of course, serve also as teaching slides. Teachers will find these slide shows valuable

VIDEO CLIPS which teach KINESTHETIC LEARNING SEQUENCES

New to HOLY MOL-EE! with the 2005 Edition are video clips which teach chemistry through participatory kinesthetic movement. These learning sequences are very powerful learning tools which your students will come to enjoy. The videos provide instruction in both chemistry and movement, sequence run-through, and sequence performance. The power of learning accessed by these movements cannot be overstated. Our bodies learn a great deal through kinesthetics, (or purposeful learning movements), and this is a greatly underutilized modality of instruction in modern education.

GUIDED STUDENT NOTES

From the Slide Show/Data CD, you may print out any or all of the Guided Student Notes pages. This feature helps your students to stay focused during lecture, facilitates note-taking and allows for the easy sharing of notes between students when someone is absent from class. It makes both your job, and theirs, easier. Because the file is in MS Word ® format, you may change it, add to it, or delete parts of it to facilitate student learning as you see fit. The Guided Student Notes are arranged to follow the revised HOLY MOL-EE! Teaching Outline.

WORKSHEETS WERE REDONE

The original, hand-drawn worksheets have been replaced with computerized updates. And more worksheets have been added, for a total of 23 Worksheets. Our Balancing Equations Worksheet #15, well-tested and refined, has proven to be a particularly valuable tool to give your students an intuitive feel for the meaning of subscripts and coefficients in chemical equations. And #14, "Unit Conversions," teaches how to set up unit conversion problems in a way that students really get it. Both worksheets are accompanied by extensive teaching slide shows.

A VALUABLE AND TIMELY TEACHING TOOL

The New 2005 Edition of the Teacher Guidebook will save you time in lesson preparation and delivery, as well as add another dimension of fun to your chemistry teaching. It contains more extensive methods instruction about multiple modality teaching, as well as how to use the various components of HOLY MOL-EE! to optimize learning. An appendix has been added which directly states how various HOLY MOL-EE! materials correlate to the California Chemistry Content Standards

We have spent thousands of hours developing and testing the information and materials assembled for you in this package and proudly offer to you the New 2005 HOLY MOL-EE! Multiple Modality Chemistry, as always, with a full-satisfaction guarantee.
