The Daily Warm-Ups series is a wonderful way to turn extra classroom minutes into valuable learning time. The 180 quick activities--one for each day of the school year--review, practice, and teach chemistry topics. These daily activities may be used at the very beginning of class to get students into learning mode, near the end of class to make good educational use of that transitional time, in the middle of class to shift gears between lessons--or whenever else you have minutes that now go unused. In addition to providing students with fascinating chemistry activities, they are a natural path to other classroom activities involving critical thinking.
