How do diapers work? What's the best way to grow crystals? Chemistry can provide some pretty fantastic answers to these questions, and more, in this book of 10 experiments, presented by Scientific America. In each, a science concept is introduced, followed by a materials list, and step-by-step instructions for set up and execution of the experiment. Each experiment has a concluding section reviewing the results as well as extensions to the experiment or science fair project ideas. The book ends with a description of the scientific method and glossary.
