Chemistry experiments demonstrate the properties and behavior of various kinds of atoms and molecules
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Grade 3-6 These 30 chemistry experiments have been carefully written to demonstrate the logic, simplicity and effectiveness of the scientific method. Each experiment is designed to answer a specific question which is clearly answered by following correct scientific procedure. All materials used can (truly) be purchased at a grocery store. Procedure for each experiment is fully explained in the text. Procedures calling for adult assistance are used five times; however, students needing help passing a weak electric current through solution may not need help slicing an apple or turning on an oven. Close observation is required to answer the questions asked about each experiment. Complete explanations of observations and results are followed by specific suggestions for modification of each experiment to further understanding of the principle being studied. These are simple experiments, accessible to even reluctant or intimidated science students. This book is similar in scope and content to Robert Gardner's Kitchen Chemistry (Messner, 1982). Although Kitchen Chemistry has projects more complex and varied, the format of Adventures with Atoms and Molecules makes its experiments easier to read and follow. What this book lacks is excitement; if that is supplied by other students or adults, the book will be an excellent resource for at-home or in-school investigations. Dull, unimaginative computer-generated diagrams belie the integrity of the text. Allen Meyer, Vernon Area Public Library District, Prairie View, Ill.
