Chemistry Science Fair Projects Using Acids, Bases, Metals, Salts, and Inorganic Stuff (Chemistry! Best Science Projects)

Grade 7 Up - An introduction offers a short explanation of inorganic chemistry and then discusses the materials required for the more than 25 experiments presented. Since many of the items are not likely to be found in the home, readers are provided with a list of supply companies. Readers are also encouraged to call upon their science teachers and utilize school equipment, such as Bunsen burners, graduated cylinders, rubber tubing, manganese dioxide, potassium iodide, and various sizes of flasks. Students are encouraged to expand on the ideas in order to create unique projects of their own. A brief explanation of the scientific method and a discussion of safety are included. The information is dry but includes bits of intriguing historical documentation.
