An examination of elements, particles, atoms, and molecules teaches readers about chemicals and reactions to further their understanding of the world and how it works, offering simple experiments and projects to reinforce the scientific concepts.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
With a colorful format; easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions; and succinct sidebars explaining why each experiment works, Richards uses a creative context to provide young science enthusiasts with a fine introduction to experimenting with chemical reactions. Requiring only common household items, the experiments are simple enough to be done independently as well as in the classroom. Their difficulty varies: more elaborate ones result in papier-machemasks, jewelry made of flour, and bubbling volcanoes. Along the way, Richards unobtrusively introduces new vocabulary that can be understood in context and is later reiterated in a cross-reference glossary. Expertly arranged photographs demonstrate each step of the processes, and diagrams illustrate the chemical reactions. A useful resource likely to provide hours of educationally sound fun.
