Readers ages 7 to 10 will learn about chemical reactions taking place all around us. Find out what happens when different atoms and molecules come in contact with each other. Includes 25 hands-on STEM activities, fascinating facts, essential questions, and more!

Examines various chemical reactions, from the explosion of gunpowder to physiological actions of medicines.

What is the difference between a physical and chemical change in matter? What are the parts of a chemical reaction? How are chemical bonds affected in chemical reactions? What changes in properties occur as a result of chemical reactions? What changes in energy occur as a result of chemical reactions? What is the Conservation of Matter? The answers to all of these questions are covered in depth with graphics, diagrams, and exciting video.

Presents simple experiments that demonstrate how various materials may change when mixed with other materials.

"Join Max Axiom as he explores the science behind chemical reactions. Max helps readers understand how chemical reactions happen and why they are important. These newly revised editions feature Capstone 4D augmented reading experience, with videos, writing prompts, discussion questions, and a hands-on activity. Fans of augmented reality will love learning beyond the book!"--

Students discover that heat energy comes from the motion of atoms and that chemical energy is stored in the bonds that link atoms together. Discover how chemical reactions can give off heat energy and how heat can help release the stored chemical energy in fuel.

"Watch the IMSA on Wheels crew freeze bananas, explode balloons and then top it off with some homemade ice cream-all in the name of science!"--Container.
