What is the link between fabrics, medicine, explosive, paint, and even nuclear power? The answer is chemistry. This series teaches readers that chemistry is more than something scientists study in a laboratory; it is something used every day in factories, chemical plants, and homes. Each book in this series includes examples that are part of students' everyday environments. The included experiments follow the four-step scientific process. This title explores what atoms are like, how they combine with each other, and how they form the building blocks of everything on Earth. You will also find several experiments that can be done at home.
