The demonstrations capture interest, teach, inform, fascinate, amaze, and perhaps, most importantly, involve students in chemistry.
Nowhere else will you find books that answer, How come it happens? .
Is it safe? .
What do I do with all the stuff when the demo is over? Shakhashiri and his collaborators offer 282 chemical demonstrations arranged in 11 chapters.
Each demonstration includes seven sections: a brief summary, a materials list, a step-by-step account of procedures to be used, an explanation of the hazards involved, information on how to store or dispose of the chemicals used, a discussion of the phenomena displayed and principles illustrated by the demonstration, and a list of references.
