Orbital 2 – Chemistry and Sustainability (LOPS2021)

The Orbital 2 book contains the module KE2 Chemistry and a sustainable future, which is one of the two compulsory chemistry modules in upper secondary school. The books can be combined as required to form a single study unit. 

The Orbital series is a modern learning material for chemistry that encourages the student to think about, investigate, and understand chemistry. The text is designed to captivate the reader. The examples feature important chemical processes and discoveries that are familiar from everyday life. In addition to traditional text explanations, animations, videos and 3D models have also been used to visualise processes. 

The tasks follow the new digital final exam model, progressing from tasks that test memory skills through concepts to practical and more challenging tasks. Models and visualisation play a key role in learning chemistry. 

Chemistry is learnt by visualising your own thoughts and by presenting them to other students. Discussions help to develop our own thought processes. Modelling uses simulations, but you will also need a pen and paper. Students can freely choose between visualisation methods. 

Chemistry is also learnt together. Learning is social in nature, so the material encourages students to work together.

NB! This book is currently under construction, meaning that certain parts of it are not yet accessible. Right now, chapters 1.1. through 4.2 are available. The rest of the book's chapters and materials will be added as updates in August 2022.
