chemical elements

"A book of fun chemistry experiments has fallen into the wrong hands. Only Mel can use her knowledge of the periodic table to put an end to a maniacal madman's evil schemes. The periodic table helps us quickly understand the 118 elements, those tiny substances that make up everything in the world. By using the periodic table, we can recognize how these building blocks behave, find trends and patterns in the universe, and make predictions about elements that haven't been discovered yet"--Provided by publisher.

Readers will learn about elements and how some are abundant while others are rare or only created in a laboratory, and how elements join to create molecules, compounds, and the matter around us.

"When you think of nickel, a 5-cent coin probably comes to mind. But nickel is used for so much more than manufacturing coins. Nickel and nickel-containing alloys are . . . important in our society. Nickel is used in the construction, transportation, power, and high-tech industries. This book tells the . . . story of how nickel was discovered, how ore containing nickel is mined and extracted, the properties that make nickel so useful, and how nickel's many uses and applications make the high-tech world we live in possible. It also provides students with . . . resources to continue their research"--Provided by publisher.
