From bonds and reactions to acids, bases, and the mole, this book focuses on the essential information and concepts students encounter in a first semester college or high school chemistry class.

Covers every topic that is typically included in most high school chemistry. Provides deep understanding of basic concepts and how one can apply the kind of simple, natural quantitative reasoning we all use every day to what are truly simple chemistry problems once this basic understanding is established. It is this basis of true understanding that makes chemistry. (THIS IS A SET. Book and DVDs must be checkout together)

Uses cartoon-style characters to explain the basics of chemistry, discussing such concepts as states of matter, atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, and different chemicals.

Introduces the fascinating world of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Learn how atoms and molecules combine to form ordinary objects, such as the chair you're sitting on, the water in your glass, and even you! --Publisher

Chemistry? No problem!  This Big Fat Notebook covers everything you need to know during a year of high school chemistry class, breaking down one big bad subject into accessible units. Learn to study better and get better grades using mnemonic devices, definitions, diagrams, educational doodles, and quizzes to recap it all.

The kitchen pantry scientist's guide to chemistry features biographies of 25 leading chemists, past and present, accompanied by accessible, hands-on experiments and activities to bring the history and principles of chemistry alive.

"Examines the processes of trash decomposition"--

The elements in the periodic table are the ingredients that make up our world. Explore elements such as carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, and learn why they are essential to our survival. See how precious gold protects astronauts in space, and why the metal mercury can be both a solid and a liquid. Find out about man-made elements, which the smartest chemists are busy figuring out how to use. Learn about scores of other elements, including silver, the...

Presents fifty science experiments that can be done using everyday materials, with detailed step-by-step instructions and explanations of the scientific principles that are demonstrated by each experiment.

A collection of experiments to help scientists discover the answers and unlock the secrets of mixtures, matter, and melting as well as reactions, ions, and energy.
