chemical reactions

Describes experiments that demonstrate such chemical reactions as freezing, dissolving, and filtering and explains why they happen.

Explains what chemical reactions, acids, and bases are, presents examples of chemistry at work in everyday life, and discusses the burning of fossil fuels.

An introduction to chemical changes that explains synthesis, decomposition, oxidation, reduction, precipitation, reaction energy, the burning of fuel, and other related topics.

Explains the story of chemical reactions from gunpowder to laser chemistry, and profiles leading scientists in the field of chemistry.

Describes the properties of materials changing in a variety of ways, including melting, boiling, bending and breaking, burning, and others, and includes two hands-on activities.

Presents a children's study that examines chemical reactions and provides information on the kinds of reactions, life reactions, and exotic reactions.

Explains what is involved in the investigation when there is a chemical fire, covering chemical reactions, chemical hazards and processes, what techniques are effective in fighting this type of fire, dangers from explosions and gases, environmental impact, determining cause, and more.

Reveals the links between an atom's structure and its chemical destiny showing how an atom makes its passage through nature.

Describes the steps of the scientific method and offers instructions for several simple experiments on chemical reactions. Each experiment asks a question and makes a conclusion based on the results.

Provides information about chemical reactions, beginning with an explanation of matter and how it changes, looking at different kinds of chemical reactions, and discussing their effects. Includes photographs and a glossary.
