Chemical Demonstrations, Volume 1: A Handbook for Teachers of Chemistry

AUTHOR Balio, Tino; Shakhashiri, Bassam Z.
PUBLISHER University of Wisconsin Press (04/15/1979)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description

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 sections: 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.
