"Each topic is fully illustrated to support the information, make the facts crystal clear, and bring the science to life. A large central image explains the idea visually and each topic is summed up on a single page, helping children to quickly get up to speed and really understand how chemistry works. Information boxes explain the theory with the help of simple graphics and for further studying, a handy "Key Facts" box provides a simple summary you...

In this practical pop science book, a scientist dubbed "the Cooler Bill Nye" looks at how we experience chemistry every day, answering questions such as what makes dough rise and how coffee gives us an energy boost.

This program familiarizes students with the features of acids and bases, and discusses their physical and chemical properties. The pH scale is introduced with examples of strong and weak acids and bases and the concept of neutral substances is explored. The use of indicators to test the pH of acids and bases is explained, as well as showing the variety of indicators available and their specific uses. Students are shown how to make their own red cabbage...

Fire retardant used to smother fires—also called slurry—is a mixture of water, fertilizer and chemicals. It’s dropped from planes and is usually a bright red color, so air crews can track what they’ve used. But this powerful way to help slow down fires also comes with a big price tag and some environmental concerns.

Matter is all around us. Everything on earth is made of matter. Learning about the different properties of matter will allow students to understand how environmental and human factors affect the changing world we live in. By viewing the video, students will enhance their knowledge about solids, liquids, and gases. The video presents general information about matter, matter's properties and states, and how matter changes. After viewing the video, students...

From an instantaneous explosion to the slow rusting of iron, the rates at which different chemical reactions proceed can vary tremendously depending temperature and concentration. Chemists want to slow down or speed up reaction rates. One way to do this is to use a catalyst. In this video, we will learn about catalysts and how using them can lead to cheaper, more effective drug production processes.

Describes the education, training, earnings, and outlook associated with twenty careers in the field of chemistry, including biochemists, chemical engineers, forensic experts and medical laboratory technicians.

Presents an illustrated introduction to acids and bases, including what they are, how they are determined, and their roles in chemistry, industry, the human body and nature.
