A student's review of Chemical Chaos

I think that Chemical Chaos is a great and horrible book because it tells you about horrible chemistry and alchemists! It's also a book that teaches the truth about chemistry and how it was invented. I like the facts in the book and the way they use comic strips to tell you things with jokes!

CHEMICAL CHAOS!

My dad first found these in England. He thought I might like them so he got a few for me. I really LOVED reading them in grade and learning stuff. Now, in sixth grade, we are learning the things that I already knew! I showed it to my science teacher and I still haven't gotten it back because she's loaned to so many people! She would read exerpts from it every morning, AND I passed the class with an A+! It's a great book and Nick Arnold is such a good writer, you don't even know how much you're learning. :-)

Delightful chemistry!

Chemical Chaos presents a delightful history of scientific development while teaching basic chemistry. Information is presented in cartoon-style which is readable by ages 10 and up. The experiments are not extensive but are well-thought out to demonstrate scientific principles. And the experiments are easy, use readily-available materials, include safe practices, and apply to everyday life.

Nick Arnold does it again, and makes it fun to learn.

I have it on good authority that Nick Arnold is no chemist! But reading his excellent children's book 'Chemical Chaos' you'd never know it. He demonstrates remarkable knowledge and research ability, and this book is sure to keep children amused across the world. The whole 'Horrible Science' series is wonderful, and makes learning a pleasure for everyone, young and old alike.
