Illustrated guide to home chemistry experiments

Cover of Illustrated guide to home chemistry experiments

Robert Bruce Thompson

As an illustrated guide to home chemistry experiments I suspect that the target audience is limited because the effort, time and expense required to set up a suitably equipped home laboratory for these experiments would be immense - even for the most patient and dedicated of amateur chemists. But if this is you, then this book is well worth the money, and provides a 'belt and braces' approach to home experiments where no detail is overlooked and where accuracy and effective working practices are paramount. 

The second and probably more common use of this text would be as a reference for school science teachers - including non-specialist teachers - technicians and students. 

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor. 

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
