The Wonderbook of Chemistry

Through his stories and experiments, Uncle Paul manages to explain chemical principles in such a way that any young person can understand.

Beginning with a mixture of iron filings and sulfur, Uncle Paul piques his young nephews' interest in a series of thoughtfully designed experiments. These activities will not only demonstrate properties in different elements but also introduce them to the very basics of chemistry.

This new edition continues the education begun in Fabre's earlier books: The Storybook of Science and The Secret of Everyday Things. It still preserves all the original illustrations and the complete, unabridged text. It is hence an excellent text for learning chemistry in an experiential and story-driven way to make scientific concepts both enjoyable and comprehensible.
