Expose, Excite, Ignite! An Essential Guide to Whizz-Bang Chemistry

Product Description

In this one book you will get the explanations, the practical show-how, the safety issues and extension ideas to take your students to the next level. This is not a chemistry recipe book.  It is a practical chemistry revelation. No boring recipes on making fizzy volcanic mountains (yawn) - this stuff sizzles.

The author focused on the triple S concept:  All activities are SIMPLE, reasonably SAFE (hey, this is about combustion) and oh so SPECTACULAR.  You’ll get step-by-step instructions and photos and all can easily be implemented in your classroom and lab - instant student engagement. 

For those who love safe, sizzling science excitement at home - you have found it!  The  tested activities will provide hours of solid Whizz-Bang edutainment in the backyard that should (due to the nature of the activities) be overseen by an adult.

This book will show you how to:
★ make a pencil sharpener burn white hot under water;
★ make an egg explode in an “eggsothermic” reaction;
★ make a wind-up toy car explode in a puff of smoke;
★ prepare hydrogen gas from kitchen chemicals;
★ launch a real rocket using sugar-based fuel;
★ make a tube whistle, bark and fly skywards;
★ do a sugar dust explosion in a coffee tin;
★ run a clock on a pencil sharpener;
★ extract silicon from beach sand;
★ set your hand (safely) on fire;
★ boil water in a paper pan;
and more . . .

Now you too can become part of the Whizz-bang clan. Light the bunsens and celebrate the joys of chemistry!

For:       Middle & High School Science teachers, home experimenters & amateur scientists, great gift too!
