Investigating atoms & molecules

This title provides an overview of atoms and molecules. Text includes a simple overview of atoms and molecules and examines nuclei, protons, neutrons, electrons, shells, bonds, isomers, and polymers. Includes the periodic table. Information is explained using real-world examples and supported with graphics and photos. This book concludes with two simple, kid-friendly experiments. Aligned to Common Core standards and correlated to state standards.

The elements we live by

how iron helps us breathe, potassium lets us see, and other surprising superpowers of the periodic table
2020
"A journey through chemistry and physics introducing the elemental building blocks from which humans are made--iron, phosphorus, silicon, potassium, and more"--Provided by publisher.

Physical changes

2020
"In this easy-to-follow text, readers are introduced to physical changes in matter. Simple explanations cover forms of matter, properties, and changes. Real-life examples illustrate important concepts."--Provided by publisher.

The super-charged world of chemistry

Presents the Standard Deviants approach to learning chemistry, focusing on percent composition.

Hunting the elements

2012
Where do nature's building blocks, called the elements, come from? They're the hidden ingredients of everything in our world, from the carbon in our bodies to the metals in our smartphones. To unlock their secrets, David Pogue, the lively host of NOVA's popular "Making Stuff" series and technology correspondent of The New York Times, spins viewers through the world of weird, extreme chemistry: the strongest acids, the deadliest poisons, the universe's most abundant elements, and the rarest of the rare--substances cooked up in atom smashers that flicker into existence for only fractions of a second.

Hot and cold

2018
Heating or cooling different materials may cause them to change. Heating some materials might cause them to melt or cook. Cooling some materials might cause them to change color or form. Some of these changes are reversible, while others are irreversible.
