Basher Science: the Periodic Table by
Basher Science: The Periodic Table, Elements with Style! created and illustrated by Simon Basher, Written by Adrian Dingle: The Periodic Table introduces budding chemists to the world of the elements as it's never been seen before. Designed to resemble popular networking Web sites, the pages of this book feature "homepages" for each of the chemical elements -- complete with witty and informative profiles written by the elements themselves, plus a personally chosen picture.
Reactions by
The third book in Theodore Gray's bestselling Elements Trilogy, Reactions continues the journey through the world of chemistry that began with his two previous bestselling books The Elements and Molecules. With The Elements, Gray gave us a never-before-seen, mesmerizing photographic view of the 118 elements in the periodic table. In Molecules, he showed us how the elements combine to form the content that makes up our universe. With Reactions Gray once again puts his one-of-a-kind photography and storytelling ability to work demonstrating how molecules interact in ways that are essential to our very existence. The book begins with a brief recap of elements and molecules and then goes on to explain important concepts the characterize a chemical reaction, including Energy, Entropy, and Time. It is then organized by type of reaction including chapters such as "Fantastic Reactions and Where to Find Them," "On the Origin of Light and Color," "The Boring Chapter," in which we learn about reactions such as paint drying, grass growing, and water boiling, and "The Need for Speed," including topics such as weather, ignition, and fire.
Carbon by
This book looks at one of our most common elements. The author takes us through the discovery of carbon, and then provides fascinating information on this element's place on the periodic table and why it belongs there. The use of photographs and unique experiments allows us to see where carbon is found in the natural world, its compounds, and its uses in everyday life.
Acids & bases by
Explains the difference between acids and bases, describes chemical reactions, and presents several related experiments that can be done at home.
Atoms, Molecules, and Compounds by
The structure and behavior of atoms allows them to combine to form the millions of molecules and compounds that make up the world.
Crazy chemistry by
Chronicles the history of chemistry, focusing on some of the stranger tales of eccentric scientists and dangerous experiments that led to discoveries and breakthroughs in the field.
Maker Comics: Conduct a Science Experiment! by
Inside Maker Comics: Conduct a Science Experiment!, the latest volume of First Second's DIY graphic novel series, you'll find step-by-step instructions for six STEM projects. Reed's moms are about to leave for a summer trip, and he can't wait to spend his break playing games and making videos with his friends. But it turns out that after a year of suffering science grades, Reed's parents have called in reinforcements: his big sister, Olive, who's come home from college to help him out. At first, Reed's furious to have to swap his internet time for summer school, but it turns out that science is more than just memorizing facts from books. Olive's planned a jam-packed week of hands-on experiments, and bit by bit Reed has to admit that science can be kind of cool.
Molecules by
In his highly anticipated sequel to The Elements, Theodore Gray demonstrates how the elements of the periodic table combine to form the molecules that make up our world. Everything physical is made up of the elements and the infinite variety of molecules they form when they combine with each other. In Molecules, Theodore Gray takes the next step in the grand story that began with the periodic table in his best-selling book, The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe. Here, he explores through fascinating stories and trademark stunning photography the most interesting, essential, useful, and beautiful of the millions of chemical structures that make up every material in the world. Gray begins with an explanation of how atoms bond to form molecules and compounds, as well as the difference between organic and inorganic chemistry. He then goes on to explore the vast array of materials molecules can create, including: soaps and solvents; goops and oils; rocks and ores; ropes and fibers; painkillers and dangerous drugs; sweeteners; perfumes and stink bombs; colors and pigments; and controversial compounds including asbestos, CFCs, and thimerosal. Big, gorgeous photographs, as well as diagrams of the compounds and their chemical bonds, rendered with never before seen beauty, fill the pages and capture molecules in their various states. As he did in The Elements, Gray shows us molecules as we've never seen them before. It's the perfect book for his loyal fans who've been eager for more and for anyone fascinated with the mysteries of the material world.
The elements : a visual exploration of every known atom in the universe by
Presents a photographic representation of the over 100 elements in the periodic table; and includes facts, figures, and stories of the elements, data on the properties of each, and the year and location in which it was discovered.
