When tiny atoms interact, their chemistry affects our world. From cars rusting to stomachs digesting, chemical reactions make things happen. See the invisible atomic world with these easy and fun projects on chemistry and chemical reactions that you can do yourself. Think like a chemist as you burn oxygen in air, move microscopic metals through solution, make your own plastic, and much more. Uncover nature’s mysterious recipes with chemistry!

Chemistry is around us. In plants, air, water and earth. Each human body is a wonderful chemical factory. A Simple Guide to Chemistry includes over 15 experiments designed using equipment and chemicals that are readily available in our homes. This is an interactive lab manual designed to trigger and satiate the interest of both young and old in the fascinating world of chemistry. The instructions are given in a way to help you visualize what is necessary to understand and appreciate chemistry at its core. No doubt, chemistry is a vast topic; it’s not necessary to spend years studying it unless it’s one of your core subjects in college. For most of us, we need a basic understanding to progress through school. You will surely find yourself looking at chemistry through a different lens after going through this book!

Concise writing and organizational skills are stressed throughout, and "move structures" teach students conventional ways to present their stories of scientific discovery.
