Elements
\"Elements create everything around us, from the air we breathe to our very bodies. Some elements are abundant, such as hydrogen and carbon, while others are rare or only created in laboratories! How elements join to create compounds--and the matter around us--is an amazing discovery that scientists are still investigating. Readers will appreciate the accessible look at elements in this intriguing book, which includes comprehensible fact boxes, helpful diagrams, and essential elementary chemistry facts.\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Sodium
\"From the table to the lab to our bodies, this interesting and informative book introduces young readers to the element sodium. Easy-to-understand explanations, colorful illustrations, and examples children can relate to make this a fun way to learn about one of Earth's most abundant elements. Historical information gives the subject context, while discussions of the common uses of sodium, such as in soap making and food preservation, keep it relevant.\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Aluminum
Presents the properties of the element and its components while providing readers with resources to learn more about aluminum and how it is mined, recycled, and used in our society.
Book
Hydrogen
\"Hydrogen is the most widespread element and one of the building blocks of life. First appearing when the Big Bang created the universe, hydrogen is now part of human technologies that could change the future. People have used liquid hydrogen to send astronauts into space and hydrogen gas to drive families to the store. In this informative text, we'll explore the first element in the periodic table, looking at its properties and finding its hiding places. From our bodies to the Sun, hydrogen is everywhere!\"-- Provided by publisher.

Nickel
\"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 very important in our society. Nickel is used in the construction, transportation, power, high-tech and many other industries. This book tells the fascinating 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 up-to-date resources to continue their research.\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Silver
\"Silver has always been a precious metal, used in photography, dentistry, currency, knives, forks, and spoons (better known as, yes, silverware!). Silver is used in x-rays, mirrors, and even medical bandages. In this book, we'll explore how silver was first discovered and used, and how it forms into compounds and alloys. Readers will discover where silver fits in the Periodic Table, and how silver plays a part in modern day electronics from cell phones to computers, but is no longer used in coins, given its expense. Interesting chemistry terms are accompanied by illustrations and photographs to bring silver to gleaming life.\"-- Provided by publisher.
