This is the student text portion of the curriculum "The Elements; Ingredients of the Universe," by the same author. The student text is provided as a convenience to teachers and parents who have multiple students and would like each student to have their own booklet. ( The full curriculum book includes a copy of the student text.)
This was fun and I learned a lot. My 12 year old daughter loves it and it sparked a love for chemistry in her. So, I decided to read it myself and I can see why she enjoyed it. I'll always remember the tale of the periodic table. That little story taught me more about chemistry than I can remember learning from high school chemistry.
