Cool crystal creations engages kids with eleven hands-on labs that educate and teach you how to replicate crystals.

The elements in the periodic table are the ingredients that make up our world. Explore elements such as carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, and learn why they are essential to our survival. See how precious gold protects astronauts in space, and why the metal mercury can be both a solid and a liquid. Find out about man-made elements, which the smartest chemists are busy figuring out how to use. Learn about scores of other elements, including silver, the alkaline earth metals, the nitrogen elements, and the noble gases, such as helium and krypton.--.

Explores careers in chemistry.

Story of Percy Julian's scientific breakthroughs and a biography of his life with period reenactments based on newly opened family archives and interviews with dozens of colleagues and relatives.

Presents an introduction to elements known as metalloids, explaining how they display similar characteristics but are not metals, including arsenic, boron, and others.

Presents an introduction to the elements known as metals, providing information on the properties and uses of aluminum, indium, tin, lead and other metals of the periodic table.

Presents an introduction to the elements known as metals, providing information on the properties and uses of transition metals--with high melting points and magnetic properties--and go inside a U.S. Navy aircraft to learn more.

Presents an introduction to elements known as alkaline-earth metals, found in the second group of the periodic table, and explaining their properties and uses and why they react with water so easily.

Presents an introduction to elements known as alkali metals, explaining why they are soft and have low melting points and densities compared to other metals but are powerful in other ways and includes a segment on fireworks illustrating their explosive traits.

"The award-winning Standard Deviants tackle the massive world of Chemistry. The positively charged cast of young actors will explain a massive amount about the materials that make up our universe and what happens when they react. No matter is left untouched as animated characters and on-screen graphics help visualize the bonding at an atomic and massive level." - web site.
