chemical reactions

Discusses the interconnectedness of ecosystems, and covers chain reactions caused by use of certain products, such as coal, gasoline and antibacterial soap, and the effects of global warming, extinction, and invasive species.

A biography of chemist Antoine Lavoisier who identified oxygen and hydrogen, studied the conservation of mass, wrote the first major list of elements, and helped develop the metric system. Describes how old rivals raised suspicion about him during the French Revolution that led to his beheading.

Provides simple, step-by-step instructions for an assortment of science experiments that each deal in some way with compounds and mixtures. Features full-color photographs and illustrations throughout.

Presents an introduction to the periodic table of the elements, showing how hundreds of different elements combine to form compounds that make up the world around us.

Explores the processes of chemical reactions, discussing the role of energy and heat and the factors affecting the speed of the reaction; and contains diagrams and experiments.

The student will learn to identify chemical changes and the signs that they have occurred. Introduces how to distinguish between physical and chemical changes, and the concept that chemical reactions involve changes in energy. Identifies factors that affect reaction rate. Explains the role of enzymes in chemical reactions. Describes the importance of chemical reactions in daily life.

In graphic novel format, follows the adventures of Max Axiom as he explores the science of chemical reactions.

Introduces the atom, elements, compounds, and mixtures and discusses related concepts including chemical reactions, chemical equations, and photosynthesis.

Explains what physical properties are, discusses the difference between extensive and intensive physical properties, looks at some of the physical changes that occuron a regular basis, and examines chemical properties and changes.

Introduces the basic components of matter, describes the difference between acids and bases, explores the workings of chemical reactions and reactivity, and discusses naturally occurring chemicals.
