chemistry

A study guide for high school level chemistry.

"Become a better problem-solver, inventor, and innovator with these fascinating chemistry experiments. Each one has a clear question that's being asked, step-by-step instructions, a list of materials you'll need, prompts to help you record your observations, and more. By the time you're through, you'll have chemistry for kids down to a science!" -- back cover.

"Science is all around us in our daily lives. Specifically, chemistry! When your bread toasts, when your shampoo foams, when the playground slide rusts--those are all chemical reactions. In this book, a mother and daughter expereince all these things and more as they go about their day, from when they wake up, to when they go to bed"--Provided by publisher.

Fifth-grader Kate tries to do it all when she promises a cake for her brother's birthday party and stages a rocket launch for her chemistry club.

Text and illustrations look at the field of chemistry, focusing on elements, energy changes, structure and bonding, and more.

"Part of the nonfiction Footprints series for middle readers, this book examines the good and the bad of the chemicals we come into contact with in our daily lives"--Provided by publisher.

In this practical pop science book, a scientist dubbed "the Cooler Bill Nye" looks at how we experience chemistry every day, answering questions such as what makes dough rise and how coffee gives us an energy boost.

"Tells us about the . . . science behind everyday things (like drinking water,) and not-so-everyday things (like space travel and baby dinosaurs). Come along for the ride of a lifetime! [This book] turns the ordinary into extraordinary, explaining everything from heat conduction to expiration dates, with a side of states-of-matter and biological clocks"--OCLC.

Most substances on Earth are mixtures of different molecules. The way these molecules react to each other causes all sorts of everyday mixtures and solutions, from butter to plastic to soap! Do you know what puts the fizz in fizzy drinks, what happens when water molecules meet fat molecules, and what reaction causes rain? Find out by making your own exciting experiments! Build up a better understanding of the world around you while having fun with hands-on science.
