Chemical Reactions! With 25 Science Projects for Kids
Ebook
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Overview
Chemical Reactions brings chemistry to life with hands-on, science-minded activities and plenty of text-to-world connections that invite kids ages 7 to 10 to discover the wonderful world of chemical reactions!
You might think chemistry only happens in a laboratory with people wearing white coats—but actually, chemistry is all around us!
We observe chemical reactions every day. Did you eat toast this morning? That toast was a result of a chemical reaction. Did your family have a fire in your fireplace last night? Burning wood is a chemical reaction! There’s even chemistry happening inside your own body as you break down the food you eat into usable nutrients. In Chemical Reactions! With 25 Science Projects for Kids, readers ages 7 to 10 learn about the atoms and molecules that make up everything in our world and what happens when different atoms and molecules come in contact with each other.

Booklist Spotlight
"Atoms and molecules certainly cannot be seen with the naked eye,
but that doesn’t mean that budding scientists cannot learn about
their properties in observable and interactive ways. Slingerland
utilizes an inquiry-based approach to studying the building blocks
of matter, positing questions to readers that serve as the basis of
each experiment and encourages young scientists to keep a notebook
recording their hypotheses, observations, and conclusions. By
conducting these experiments, young readers get a chance to observe
even the most microscopic aspects of physical science."
