A new paperback edition of this fantastic science book that explains chemistry in an informal, fun and informative way. Written in a conversational style, this book offers children an approachable source of information on key subjects such as the periodic table, atom structure and radiation. Chemistry is brought home to the reader as the book describes the chemistry of everyday life - from the chemical processes that break down food while eating to the atmosphere. Complicated topics are kept fun with a variety of devices including comic strips, fact boxes and 'nerdy notes' - post-it notes with handy mnemonics written on them. Simple, fun experiments give children working examples to learn from. Review: I USED TO TEACH THE SUBJECT! - An interesting wee book that both entertains whilst also educates the reader! I used to teach Chemistry and I enjoyed it! From ages 5 to 95! Review: Perfect for the late primary school age group - Perfect for the late primary school age group. Nice bite sized chunks of information arranged logically. It didn't succeed in making either of my sample size of two interested in chemistry but at least it prepared them for high school.

Good book for 8 years and up
Very nice book. I’m a biochemist and my kids are interested in chemistry. Easy for my 8 year old to follow (not so much for my 6 year old yet).

Cant rate this highly enough - packed with useful information for my child.
A thorough well illustrated and easy to read introduction to Chemistry. I have the Physics one too, but learnt more from this book, which I found more comprehensive. Both dad and able year 7 child got a lot out of this book.

Not read it yet
Looks like a great introduction to Chemistry for KS2 and above. My son prefers Horrible Science at the moment. I am hoping when he gets to Year 5, he will want to pick this book up, but so far it has not gripped his attention.

Very Nice
Very nice book for curious kids. My 12 year old loved it. Concepts of chemistry explained very well More importantly application of chemistry is explained. This convinces the child why he / she has to learn.

Great introduction to chemistry for later elementary level students
This book gives easy-to-understand but reasonably accurate/precise explanations of all sorts of topics in chemistry. Works as a decent chemistry "spine" for homeschoolers. Like other books in this "What's X all about?" series, there are copious illustrations among the rather small and dense, but again fairly simple, text. The text is not just a series of boxes, but generally does follow and elaborate some line of thought. Generally what you'd expect from an Usborne general intro.
