Description
Book Synopsis
ScienceWiz(R) Chemistry Plus is designed to develop a basic understanding of the chemical elements in the Periodic Table: The Alphabet of the Universe. Each group of elements in each column of this table has its own "personality" traits. Meet the cast of characters: from the wimpy alkali metals that cannot hang onto their outer-most electrons; to the devilish halogen gases that grab onto any weakly held electron that happens to be nearby. This is Real Chemistry!PROJECTS INCLUDE:
- Splitting water into rocket fuel
- Popping hydrogen
- Flame testing alkali metals
- Creating an exothermal reaction -- feel the heat!
- Testing the pH of foods and household chemicals
- Growing giant crystals
- Exploring the noble gases
- Understanding the roles of electrons and protons
This beautifully illustrated 48 page book uses a selected set of experiments chosen to illuminate patterns in the Periodic Table of Elements.
Review Quotes
It's hard to believe that everything is made up of the same basic elements in differing quantities, but it's easier when you compare it to our alphabet and the way millions of words are made from only 26 letters! This kit introduces kids to the wonders of elements in a way that lets them "see" the different "letters" of chemistry. They'll split water, pop hydrogen, and hunt for "naked" protons as they explore the different elements around us. An exciting introduction! The book is bound into the kit, and features instructions for the experiments and explanations of the concepts preceding the experiments. Both instructions and concepts are heavily illustrated with lively computer graphics, and "show" as much as tell what procedure to follow. All lab equipment comes in the kit, leaving you to gather only common, around-the-house items. - Jess, Rainbow Resources

She has been involved with the education of children for most of her adult career as a director of early childhood education programs, as a teacher in gifted and talented programs and most recently as an elementary education teacher. She has been an editor of the ScienceWiz(TM) Books since 1994 when she edited the ElectroWiz(TM) Electricity book. Ann brings a clarity of mind and the capacity to see things through a child's eyes to the editing process. To quote an Einstein of an earlier generation:"We never cease to stand like curious children before the great Mystery into which we were born." - Albert Einstein
