<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the author of "The Book of Totally Irresponsible Science"--more than20 hands-on experiments that introduce kids to chemistry, element by element.Illustrations. 1/8.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From Sean Connolly, the master of messy and dangerous (and therefore extra-fun) science, a collection of more than 20 hands-on experiments that are like an interactive journey through the periodic table of elements.</b> <p/> In this introduction to chemistry for STEM-curious kids ages 9 and up, each chapter of <i>The Book of Ingeniously Daring Chemistry</i> focuses on a single element--its properties, how it was discovered, and even its potential danger level. Easy-to-follow experiments help readers put their newfound knowledge into action. All that's needed is a sense of adventure and some items from around the house. <br> Make your own fossil with silicon. Use a pinhead and measure 166 feet of string for a mind-boggling insight into how a hydrogen atom is built. Discover oxygen and oxygenation by slicing an apple and seeing what happens an hour later. Harness the power of zinc with a potato clock. And enjoy a special hands-off feature about the "Dirty Dozen"--those nasty elements, from arsenic to plutonium, that can wreak havoc wherever they appear (there are no experiments using these chemicals). Matter<i> really</i> matters, and now you'll really understand why.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This is a compelling and substantive lesson in chemistry for young students."--<i>Parents' Choice</i> <p/> "This substantial chemistry primer explores complex concepts in an approachable, graphics-laden format... Connolly writes with light humor that serves to spark readers' natural curiosity. This is a lively, hands-on introduction to chemistry." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/><br>
