-- Instructors can use the pages for handouts, overheads, posters, and testing.
-- Students can use them as quick sources of information, to reference curriculum topics, or to supplement their essays and reports.
-- On Files "TM" are available in either binder or electronic format.
-- All of the maps, charts, diagrams, and illustrations are designed in clean black-and-white graphics and are printed on sturdy pages.
-- Pages are housed in durable three-ring binders.
-- Replacement pages are available if they are lost or stolen.
Every object that surrounds us is made of matter, either found in nature or created by humans. Chemistry Experiments On File "TM" provides more than seventy activities that reveal the underlying behavior patterns of different substances and arranges them in a way that helps students to learn the fundamental rules of matter. It brings together -- in one accessible volume -- the latest information from academic sources and international agencies as well as flow diagrams, charts, and periodic tables.
A special section, Chemical Calculations, provides explanations, examples, and questions that allow students to develop the computations that are vital to any quantitative work in chemistry, such as balancing equations and calculating energy changes in reactions.
The experiments are divided into clearly themed sections:
-- Solids, Liquids, and Gases
-- Energy and Electricity in Chemistry
-- Chemicals AroundUs (Chemical Applications)
-- Testing for Patterns in Chemistry
-- Chemical Magic.
Chemistry Experiments On File "TM" is a valuable resource for high school students, undergraduates, and educators in the classroom and in the library.
