Quick Summary

Unlock the hidden chemistry behind everything from the air you breathe to the phone in your hands, and you will see the universe as a giant playground of building blocks. Kids will love how it transforms abstract scientific concepts into relatable stories about the stuff they encounter every day, from why salt dissolves in water to what makes gold so shiny. If your kid enjoys the "Who Would Win?" series or loves "Magic School Bus" experiments, they will be hooked on this fact-filled journey through the periodic table. It is perfect for curious readers in grades 4 through 8 who want to understand the "why" behind everyday science.
