Exploring the World of Chemistry and Physics

This book presents an exciting and intriguing tour through the realm ofchemistry as each chapter unfolds with facts and stories about thediscoveries and discoverers. Find out why pure gold is not used forjewelry or coins. Join Humphry Davy as he made many chemicaldiscoveries, and learn how they shortened his life. See how people inthe 1870s could jump over the top of the Washington Monument.

Exploring the World of Chemistry brings science to life and is awonderful learning tool with many illustrations, biographicalinformation, chapter tests, and an index for easy referencing.

Did you know that a feather and a lump of lead will fall at the samerate in a vacuum? Learn about the history of physics from Aristotle toGalileo to Isaac Newton to the latest advances. Discover how the lawsof motion and gravity affect everything from the normal activities ofeveryday life to launching rockets into space. Learn about the effectsof inertia firsthand during fun and informative experiments.

Exploring the World of Physics is a great tool for students ofall ages who want to have a deeper understanding of the important andinteresting ways that physics affects our lives and is complete withillustrations, chapter questions, and an index.

If I were to give a grade to these books, this home educator would give them an "A".

As a springboard to a full Chemistry or Physics course, these books are a fantastic introduction to the topics.  They are especially helpful for students who have difficulty understanding science.
Each topic is clearly explained and includes pictures, diagrams and formulas for extra study.

Chemistry and Physics can be a struggle for students who don't excel in Math, but it seems to me that John Hudson Tiner does a great job at taking these subjects and explaining them in a way that would allow a student to understand and master the concepts before going on to use a full course curriculum.

It is age appropriate for Middle School and up, and the questions at the end of each chapter reinforce learning.

The Exploring the World series science books are a wonderful "hands-off" way (no extensive lab work), to help the struggling science student.

At a price point of around $11.00 a book they also are affordable enough to add to your bookshelf.

I received complimentary copies of Exploring the World of Chemistry and Exporing the World of Physics from New Leaf Publishing Group in order to formulate my own opinion prior to writing this post.
