Books with title Chemical Reactions

Gareth Stevens Vital Science books are designed to help prepare students for NCLB science testing by reinforcing key concepts across the science curriculum. The eight volumes in Physical Science use clear language and a variety of photographs and diagrams to increase students' understanding of forces and motion; light, heat, electricity, magnetism and sound; and the properties of objects they encounter in their daily lives. Two volumes discuss the history of science and the role of science in society.Features and benefits: - Concepts that support National Science Education Standards (NSES) and state standards: - Physical Science- Science in Personal and Social Perspectives- History and Nature of Science- Text developed in consultation with a science curriculum expert- Clear explanations of key scientific concepts- Full-color photographs, diagrams, and other illustrations that enhance understanding- Focus boxes that supplement the text- A glossary of key terms

A blast at a chemical factory leads to a fire, and a dangerous gas drifts across town. This book looks at the topic of chemical reactions to explain the properties of chemicals and how they react, what has caused the explosion, and how the resulting fire and pollution can be tackled. It shows how the emergency services use their knowledge of science and technology to make the factory safe, and how investigators can analyse the evidence to determine the cause of the disaster.

What do a rusting bike, a growling stomach, and a crackling campfire have in common? They are all the result of chemical reactions! Chemicals are constantly reacting in our bodies and all around us. Chemical reactions can be natural, like respiration and photosynthesis, or human-made, like the reactions in fertilizer and fireworks. This interactive eBook simplifies chemical reactions with clear explanations and explosive examples. Primary sources, videos, and biographies show how scientists and engineers have studied and harnessed the power of chemical reactions. Their bold achievements will inspire readers to look for the extraordinary ways chemical reactions shape our world and future. Colorful photographs, interactive quizzes, and actor-narrated audio help make complex scientific concepts more accessible to elementary readers.
