"This book reveals the magic of chemistry and with experiments such as growing crystals, making Cartesian divers and creating non-Newtonian fluids there is an activity for everyone and the opportunity for younger students to discover a love for chemistry that will remain with them all their life." -- Renee Rees Teaching Science, Vol 67, No 1
"These are marvellous titles and would provide a teacher with lots of ideas and background information to help them plan their lessons." -- Peter Hope Let's Find Out 38(4)
