Although the first real unifying theory of chemistry was developed in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the 20th century saw many advances in this field as well. From its Asian and Arabic roots in mystical and spiritual alchemy to the creation of nanochips for computers, the field of chemistry has come a long way in scientific discovery.Presenting 20 new and innovative full-color science projects in a clear, easy-to-understand style, the new Chemistry Experiments gives middle and high school students a firm grasp on this branch of science in a fun, hands-on way. Topics covered include ozone depletion, wood alcohol, heat energy, purifying water, and levels of sugar.

Environmental Science Experiments offers students and teachers the tools to explore various environmental issues. Through 20 new hands-on activities, students can learn more about environmental problems and what can be done to solve them. Facts, figures, charts, and reports efficiently dispense information about the environment and help raise awareness about timely issues. Full-color illustrations, an index, a glossary, and print and Web resources round out this accessible new volume.

Earth science is the study of the Earth's lands, oceans, air, ice, and life as a total global system, or more broadly, the study of the space in which the human population lives.Filling the need for Earth science experiments at the middle and high school level, the new, full-color Earth Science Experiments enables students to comprehend important Earth science subjects in a hands-on way. In a clear, easy-to-understand style, this book covers such topics as erosion, severe weather, weather mapmaking, crystals, and carbon dioxide. Teaching students such important skills as observing, measuring, classifying, analyzing, and predicting, Earth Science Experiments is an invaluable go-to resource for science classrooms.

Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their living and nonliving environments. This field of science can be divided broadly into two areas: the relationship between an organism and its nonliving environment and the relationship between an organism and other organisms.Ecology Experiments provides students and teachers with the tools they need to explore various ecological issues. The 20 new, hands-on experiments in this book allow students to learn more about this timely scientific field. Filled with vibrant full-color illustrations, as well as an index, glossary, and print and Web resources, this accessible new resource is essential in science classrooms where ecology is part of the lesson plan.
