"Chemical reactions-including combustion, rusting, and even digestion-occur all around us every day, even if we don't notice them. In this book, three illustrated makerspace projects will allow budding scientists to create their own chemical reactions. Readers also will gain an understanding of the important uses of chemical reactions, the products they create, and the scientists who developed our understanding of them. Detailed instructions will help readers make slime, turn milk to plastic, and create delicious ice cream. Colorful photographs, diagrams, and graphic organizers will help students visualize essential elementary science concepts, while fact boxes and sidebars enhance the text"--, Provided by publisher
