Each project has a materials list, detailed step-by-step instructions with illustrations, and a brief explanation of the scientific principle being demonstrated. From turning three pennies and two galvanized washers into a simple battery to crushing a soda can using atmospheric pressure, the experiments in this book call for materials that are recycled or repurposed--crayons, plastic drink bottles, balloons, ice cubes, and other basic items found around the house. <em>Junk Drawer Chemistry </em>also includes sidebars of fascinating chemistry facts. Educators and parents will find this title a handy resource to teach children about chemistry topics that include atoms, compounds, solutions, mixtures, reactions, thermodynamics, acids and bases, and more, while having fun at the same time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[<i>Junk Drawer</i> <i>Chemistry</i> is] very highly recommended for family, school, and community library instructional reference collections." --Midwest Book Review<br><br>"[Bobby Mercer] has made doing these experiments not only challenging but also great fun for your budding scientist." --<i>Storywraps</i><br><br>"Students and educators will enjoy this resource as it makes learning science fun and appealing." --<i>School Library Connection</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Bobby Mercer</b> has been sharing the fun of science for more than two decades as a high school physics teacher.
