Books with author Bertha Morris Parker

Engaging introduction to chemical processes, starting with matter, the states it can assume (solid, liquid, gas), and how it changes from one state to another. Readers become familiar with molecules, elements, compounds, and mixtures, and how chemical changes differ from physical changes. Interspersed periodically in the text are puzzles to solve and questions to ponder that actively involve the reader.

This wonderful book was used as a textbook in schools for many years as an introduction to chemistry and atoms.In a wonderfully easy to understand manner it takes the reader from the basic states of matter right through to how molecules are composed, how elements combine to make compounds, what’s in an atom, and so much more.This edition is presented in full color with all of the original interior illustrations.
