About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'why' about the physical world, such as why water freezes or how a battery works. It is the perfect bridge for a student who finds school science textbooks dry but possesses an insatiable curiosity about how things are made. This guide demystifies complex chemical concepts by rooting them in everyday life, from the kitchen to the stars. The tone is encouraging and accessible, fostering a sense of pride as children master 'grown-up' vocabulary like isotopes and polymers. It is ideal for independent readers aged 9 to 13 who enjoy visual learning and want to understand the invisible forces that build our universe. By the end, chemistry feels less like a classroom subject and more like a secret key to understanding reality.
