Периодичната таблица

by Alice James, Shaw Nielsen (Illustrator), Алис Джеймс

Всичко в природата – скалите, въздухът и водата, растенията и животните, вещите и дори и телата ни, е изградено от невъобразимо малки частици, наречени атоми. Атомите от един и същ вид се наричат химичен елемент. Досега са открити 118 вида атоми, толкова са и химичните елементи.
Елементите изграждат веществата. Всеки елемент е различен от другите, но същевременно е свързан с тях в строга последователност, която нагледно се представя в Периодичната таблица на химичните елементи.

Never mind getting this for your kids - get it for yourself! I'm 33 and I learned a lot.

An interactive introduction to the Periodic Table and the groups of elements.

Very attractively designed with lots of fun and informational facts under the flaps. There's tons of info packed into just 16 pages. Best of all, they illustrate atoms with protons and neutrons and electrons correctly and not using the old planet look! Definitely recommended to those teaching an intro to chemistry or for curious kids.

Usborne Lift-the-Flap Periodic Table by Alice James and Shaw Nielsen. If you take a moment to search for periodic table illustrated reference book on Google, you'll uncover this treasure alongside another notable title The Elements Book: A Visual Encyclopedia of the Periodic Table by DK. Let's delve into a comparison of the two, I must admit, the former seems somewhat lacking, comprising only 16 pages. However, those 16 pages, adorned with captivating pop-ups, offer a wealth of fascinating information about chemistry elements, complemented by an array of beautiful visuals.

Kids will surely love this book, and adults who adore illustrated reference books will love it too. Usborne and DK are godsend for creating picture books. I want them all!

I really liked this book. Lots of information in it about the 118 elements in the periodic table. They all have a code name which is the same in every country in every language. 

I liked reading about which ones would fizz and bang. I like the last page best which had some dangerous elements on it. It's fun to lift the flaps to discover the answers. 

I recommend this book if you like science things and if you like to learn new things.

Absolute genius. Fun, colourful, accessible, gorgeous visuals, fascinating. Love it to bits and pieces. Although the lift-the-flap concept may seem very early childhood, the content is absolutely for older children. Love that this book takes a risk in that regard because WHO doesn’t like to lift a flap to see what’s hiding. I had a ball and I’m certainly not a kid.

Short interactive lift-and-flap book designed for kids to learn about each element. However, it would be better if made in more systematic way that help readers remember the make and use of the elements.

I guess we learnt a bunch. Lots of info and some of it relatable.

[Sydney Beth · Rating 3 out of 5]

Creatively and attractively designed, but includes a few pieces of false information, so I can’t give it the 5 stars that 90% of it deserves.

Fun and engaging introduction to the Periodic table. Used for 2nd grade science.

First day of pandemic leave/social distancing due to Covid-19 and I decide to pick up a book about the periodic table! Just a normal day hey!? Haha.

Firstly, wishing everyone impacted by this unforeseen virus a speedy recovery. Stay safe and positive everyone!!

Secondly, I am going to use this time to get back into reading as I feel like I have dropped off for a few days now.

This book was actually epic!! It deserved nothing less than 5 stars. This gem was actually so interesting, informative, educational and just so gosh darn cute!! The elements were in cartoon form which was so adorable! The fun facts were super interesting and I learnt so much as a full fledged adult which is very much appreciated! I have the urge to pass this one on to my nieces and add all the books in this series to my to read list. Amazing! Can't fault it 😁

Here are just of the few fun facts that I learnt today!

1) Phosphorus: Hennig Brand was an alchemist that tried to make gold from his pee but instead discovered a brand new element! Phosphorus in combination with nitrogen compound are used in plant fertiliser...

2) Antimony: Back in the 19th century people ate mildly poisonous pills (on purpose!) made of antimony to clean out their digestive systems...oh dear!

3) Selenium: Brazil nuts contain more selenium than any other food. Eating too much selenium causes hair loss, yet a compound of selenium and sulfur is actually used in shampoo...urgh what? Haha

So so good! Loved it!! 😄

Great introduction to the Periodic Table. Lift the flaps are so fun. Full of little tidbits.

My 7yo pulls this book out and tells us random facts that he remembers.
