Product Description Janice VanCleave's A+ Projects in Chemistry Are you having a hard time coming up with a good idea for the science fair? Do you want to earn extra credit in your chemistry class? Or do you just want to know how the world really works? Janice VanCleave's A+ Projects in Chemistry can help you, and the best part is it won't involve any complicated or expensive equipment. This step-by-step guide explores 30 different topics and offers dozens of experiment ideas. The book also includes charts, diagrams, and illustrations. Here are just a few of the topics you'll be investigating: *Acid/base reactions * Polymers * Crystals * Electrolytes * Denaturing proteins You'll be amazed at how easy it is to turn your ideas into winning science fair projects. Also available: Janice VanCleave's A+ Projects in Biology From School Library Journal Grade 6 Up-A collection of 30 projects. Although some are novel, most are repeats or modifications of familiar demonstrations on such topics as acid-base reactions, food chemistry, and properties of water. As VanCleave states, these are "cookbook experiments"-procedures are clearly written, common household materials are used, and the expected results are described. A detailed and sometimes sophisticated explanation follows along with interesting facts and suggestions for additional investigation. A few experiments require simple mathematical calculations. Black-and-white line drawings aid in setting up the activities. Overall, the book does a fine job at what it does. However, while there are elements worth exploring in the suggested demonstrations, it is a poor model for science-fair projects because the answers are known before any experimentation is ever run.
