ScienceWiz® Chemistry: Solids, Liquids and Gases: Those candle-making, water-squirting, freezing-thawing, glop and mud pie experiments every child should do to explore the matter of matter. This is kitchen chemistry at its best!
There are
29 all-time favorite projects
in this highly visual, step by step Chemistry book, including:
Capturing a CO
2
explosion
Squeezing an egg into a bottle
Growing giant crystals
Making candles
Freezing liquids into solids
Dying a flower from the inside out using
capillary action
Sinking and floating by adding salt or changing shape
Dissolving
solids into liquids, filtering and separating
The particular projects chosen
prepare children to excel in science.
They are primed to explore and later answer such question as: why do oil and water not mix; why does sugar dissolve in water; how does water travel upward into the leaves of plants; and why does ice float in water? The list is long.
This books is a classic illustration of how child’s play can be structured to lead to scientific understanding. (Visit the ScienceWiz® Hybrid-learning on Charge, (https://sciencewiz.com/distance-learning/charge/) to understand how the specific projects in this chemistry book can lead to a deeper how-it-works understanding of the physical world around us. You can do most of the Charge projects with just a few balloons and everyday items.)
