Chemical Demonstrations : A Handbook for Teachers of Chemistry Vol 1

by Bassam Z. Shakhashiri

    The demonstrations capture interest, teach, inform, fascinate, amaze, and perhaps, most importantly, involve students in chemistry. Nowhere else will you find books that answer, "How come it happens? . . . Is it safe? . . . What do I do with all the stuff when the demo is over?"
    Shakhashiri and his collaborators offer 282 chemical demonstrations arranged in 11 chapters. Each demonstration includes seven a brief summary, a materials list, a step-by-step account of procedures to be used, an explanation of the hazards involved, information on how to store or dispose of the chemicals used, a discussion of the phenomena displayed and principles illustrated by the demonstration, and a list of references.

Gotta love finding old literature in your classroom! This book is precisely organized and includes proper disposal for after each demonstration. Everything I've used from this book has been easy to follow and accurate thus far.
