Description
Great guide for GCSE chemistry!
The key to getting kids to understand science isn't to dumb it down... it's to make it fun and relatable. Read on to discover the secret.
With the increasing focus of the education system on reading and math, science grades have taken a knock. Indeed, some studies suggest that half of all students lack a fundamental understanding of science... and that's a worrying statistic.
Science -- and chemistry in particular -- is the key to understanding the world, and it's every bit as important as learning to read and balance numbers.
So how can you engage your kids and help them understand the world better?
The answer is simple: by making it fun.
Can your kids honestly say that they enjoy science lessons? Are they interested enough to ask questions and develop their understanding?
The chances are, science lessons aren't their favorite part of school life.
There's a lot to remember, and until you understand the basic relationships between the chemical elements and how they interact, it's hard to make real progress.
But we can learn something from the world's greatest authors here: the power of personification.
Personification is the literary technique of giving human characteristics to something that isn't human.
It has many purposes in literature, but it basically helps readers to understand and empathize with an unfamiliar concept.
And if we apply it to science, that's an incredibly powerful tool.
By personifying the chemical elements and describing them in a way that's really relatable to kids, you can blow the doors of their understanding wide open -- and make it fun in the process.
The result? Engaged, motivated kids who have a comprehensive understanding of the basics... and a desire to learn even more.
The Joy of Chemistry explains the fundamental building blocks of all the sciences to your kids in a truly relatable and engaging way. They'll discover:
• Exactly how particles are like people -- and how understanding their characteristics, goals, and relationships is the key to understanding the world
• Vivid, relatable analogies that kids will get first time round
• The logic behind the periodic table of elements (and how it helps you to understand it)
• The fascinating movement and behavior patterns of particles -- and how they affect the world
• The 'royalty of elements' -- because if there's one thing that kids understand, it's how hierarchies work
• Key terminology defined and explained in kid-friendly language (without dumbing down)
• Bonus knowledge-check section at the end of every chapter to consolidate your child's understanding
And much more.
If science lessons leave your child baffled, don't panic.
Once they understand the basics of chemistry, they'll have the keys to unlocking the rest of the scientific world.
Better yet, they'll understand the fundamental building blocks of the universe we live in.
With explanations truly designed to engage and intrigue, the fundamentals of science are accessible to anyone... and they're a lot more interesting than your child might realize.
