Description
Acids and Bases is an introduction to fundamental chemistry science facts, explained through easily understood text and colorful illustrations and photographs. This leveled reader helps children understand that everything we see, touch, and taste is made of atoms.
Atoms are the building blocks of matter and can link together to make molecules with different properties. Acids and bases are two types of molecules with distinct characteristics. Sour molecules, like those in lemons, are often acids, while slippery molecules, such as those in soap, are often bases.
A key concept explored in this book is the role of "H" groups and "OH" groups in giving acids and bases their different properties. A pronunciation guide for scientific terms is also included to support learning.
