Chemical Demonstrations, Volume 1 A Handbook for Teachers of Chemistry Bassam Z. Shakhashiri "WOW! . . . HOW?" your students will exclaim when you present the demonstrations in the acclaimed Chemical Demonstrations Volumes 1-4. 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. "Even where the chemistry is familiar, teachers at all levels—from school to university-could learn how to present it in a memorable way."—Education in Chemistry Contents: 1. Thermochemistry 2.
