Explore Atoms and Molecules!: With 25 Great Projects

I went shopping for an item that my Grand-kid's did not ask for. Found a student Microscope and got this book as a companion.. Bingo science is now the major for one high school age family member. LOVE to learn..

I like the way this book is laid out. Some reading and some experiments. I plan on using this for science this year in my homeschool with 2, 4 and 6 graders.

Our daughter is enjoying the book as they learning about molecules at class as well.

To teach the elementary students!

My great nephew is 7 years old and is fascinated with science , the periodic table etc. He loved this book.

Great book! I love this series!

Explore Atoms and Molecules! With 25 Great Projects by Janet Slingerland with illustrations by Matt Aucoin enables readers ages 7 - 10 to take a first look at the building blocks of matter.The book opens with a timeline that traces the history of the atom from the ancient Greeks of 500 BCE to the addition of four new elements added to the periodic table in 2016. An introduction explains the relation between atoms, molecules and matter. Six chapters follow covering atomic arrangement, elements, electrons, how atoms bond to create materials, compounds vs. mixtures, states of matter, and chemical reactions.Each chapter is thoughtfully organized and concludes with a collection of hands-on projects. Reader-friendly pull-outs: Words to Know, Investigate, Consider and Discuss, and Did You Know are paired with colorful cartoon-style illustrations and visually appealing diagrams.Consider this book for home and school library collections.

Very good introductory book for chemistry. Highly recommended for kids 10+ although it says the book is for 7-10. My son is 11 and he enjoys the book very much. It includes not only explanations of atoms and molecules but also periodic tables, history, names of scientists, ideas of science projects and explanations of some difficult terms such as quarks and valance electrons.
