ScienceWiz® Chemistry Plus is designed to develop a basic understanding of the chemical elements in the Periodic Table: The Alphabet of the Universe. Each group of elements in each column of this table has its own personality traits. Meet the cast of characters: from the wimpy alkali metals that cannot hang onto their outer-most electrons; to the devilish halogen gases that grab onto any weakly held electron that happens to be nearby. This is Real Chemistry!

PROJECTS INCLUDE:

Splitting water into rocket fuel Popping hydrogen Flame testing alkali metals Creating an exothermal reaction – feel the heat! Testing the pH of foods and household chemicals Growing giant crystals Exploring the noble gases Understanding the roles of electrons and protons

This beautifully illustrated 48 page book uses a selected set of experiments chosen to illuminate patterns in the Periodic Table of Elements.
