Richly illustrated with over a thousand photos and dazzling details of the elements that make up the physical world.

Does your little chemist have questions about the stuff that everything is made of? This visual reference book covers each of the 118 elements and includes a glossy pull-out poster of the periodic table.

This encyclopedia is a superb introduction to the subject of chemistry. Written with kids ages 9 to 12 in mind, using easy to understand language and straightforward fun facts. There's information on the scientists that made the first discoveries, and spectacular photos of large natural features, along with a simple explanation of what an atom is. Find out which of the things we see every day contain these common and unusual elements.

There's so much to discover about different elements, their atomic structure with the number of electrons, protons and neutrons, and the three states, solid, liquid or gas. Kids will learn that the copper used in computer motherboards is also what the Statue of Liberty is made of, and why it's green. Also learn about elements like Zinc - why the Japanese Akashi Bridge is coated in zinc, and why zinc is used in the soles of wellies to make the rubber tougher.

Each element is shown in its pure form in a stunning series of photos that will keep children engrossed in elemental science. The poster included with this education book is an added learning tool that shows how the elements are arranged on the periodic table. It's easier than ever to look up the basics of chemistry.

From Ac to Xe and all the elements between!

The multitude of photos, in this appealing format, makes learning the fundamentals of chemistry simple and enjoyable. This visual reference guide provides the reader with an overview of the most fascinating facts about the elements within us and around us.

Kindle edition is terrible

The kindle edition is terrible. The pages are not in the correct order. They are all scans of the page and no text is selectable.

Impossible to read in Kindle version - needs a major repair job - disappointing

16 March 2021 - Published on Amazon.com

From what I can see of it, this is a great book but it's impossible to read in the Kindle version.

Each page is cut in half and displayed sideways. I locked the screen and tried to read it in portrait mode but the pages are still cut in half so it didn't help. All the diagrams are cut in half if they fall in the middle of a page and that makes them impossible to understand.

Publishers, please fix this.

Content is 5 star. Digital format demands 1 star

27 April 2021 - Published on Amazon.com

The information contained in this book provides a solid and diverse baseline for understanding chemistry and how it can be applied. Some of the little tidbits even provided new insights on chemical properties to someone who worked professionally with a wide variety of chemicals for six decades. Unfortunately the horrendous clipping format which manifests in the kindle version renders digital copies unusable. I would highly recommend a hardcopy but cannot suggest that anyone purchase the digital copy for use in a tablet.

Fun to learn

9 March 2021 - Published on Amazon.com

Fun to learn, but difficult to read the small print. Hopefully, there will be audible so it may be both read and heard, next time. It was very educational and enjoyable.
