Chemical jigsaw set
This chemical jigsaw book, along with the CD-ROM, helps demystify chemical formulae and equations by providing a practical, visual aid to a topic that has traditionally seemed very abstract.
The book contains a series of chemistry experiments that can be performed in the kitchen using chemicals found in the home. They are all safe to do (some of them under the supervision of an adult) and can be modelled with the jigsaws. The book is engaging, having facts in it that are fun (e.g. smelly molecules) but it also has a serious side.
It is designed to motivate young people to get to grips with the parts of GCSE (or lower school chemistry) that causes problems, namely formulae, and also to attract sixth formers since some of the content is at a higher level. The book (and jigsaw kit) is therefore accessible to all.
The book and jigsaw kit is fun, challenging and absorbing and will almost certainly entertain youngsters and support their studies. It brings chemistry back to the kitchen table.
