ScienceWiz(R) Chemistry Online Discovery: 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! This Online Discovery version of
ScienceWiz(R) Chemistry includes a flip-book with embedded animations,
videos, games, and interactive simulations.
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
- Sinking and floating by adding salt or changing shape
- Dissolving solids into liquids, filtering and separating
The particular projects chosen for this book 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 Class on Charge to see how the specific projects in this
kitchen-chemistry set later leads to a deeper how-it-works understanding
of the physical world around us.)
The Online Discovery version of Chemistry includes a handle box for easy
storage and transport.
