Items related to It's Elementary: Investigating the Chemical World
It's Elementary introduces the science of chemistry to students through information and experiments that are not only safe, economical and educational, but also a lot of fun. Along the way, they'll learn about the role science plays in our daily lives and read a wealth of interesting details about science and scientists past and present. A videotape of Douglas Hayward demonstrating a selection of chemistry experiments to a grade 5 class is available as a professional reference.

From School Library Journal:
Gr 5-8-Hayward and Bates offer many good, hands-on experiments; however, their discussions are often oversimplified and lack precision. Over 50 topics are presented-from some pretty shaky astronomy, through the names of elements, the periodic table, oxygen, copper, water, soap, and plants to people-each with at least one activity. Some projects, such as finding one's own body's density or making a chemical map of youngsters' rooms, must be done at home, but others, like lining up three kids and using them as a time line, clearly work better in a classroom. The book, which has a black-and-white cartoon on every page, has the look of a student workbook. It needs a teacher's guide to give diagrams of some of the experiments and to clarify the science where breeziness takes precedence over accuracy. Janice VanCleave's Chemistry for Every Kid (Wiley, 1989) doesn't attempt to explain the entire ``chemical world,'' but the experiments are laid out so that kids can take charge of the action.-Margaret Chatham, formerly at Smithtown Library, NY
