ScienceWiz(R) 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 CO2 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(R)
Hybrid-learning on Charge, ( https:

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.)
