The Periodic Table Book [Hardcover]

Every element gets its own treatment here, photographed and explained so that the table on a classroom wall turns into something a child can actually picture. This DK Children hardcover runs 208 pages and works through the elements in groups, showing where each one turns up in ordinary materials, what it looks like in its pure form and what it is used for. Photography carries much of the explanation, which keeps the chemistry approachable for the eight to twelve age band without reducing it to slogans. The structure also makes it a fast reference when a specific element comes up in homework. In short: • 208-page hardcover from DK Children • Photographic treatment of the elements one by one • Real world uses given alongside each entry • Suggested for readers aged eight to twelve A helpful companion for primary and early secondary science students and for curious readers at home, published by DK Children and available at Boipoka.
