Understanding the Elements of the Periodic Table: Set 9
Understanding the Elements of the Periodic Table
This series presents the incredible world of elements in one of the most successfully accessible formats for young, reluctant, and struggling readers. Colorful photographs, illustrations, and sidebars impart layers of information along with the narrative, which simplifies complex scientific concepts and content. Some lesser-known elements are explored here, including the Lanthanides, Actinides, and Halogen. Readers will be intrigued by the nature of these elements. Some of these elements do not exist in nature, but are created in the laboratory. Some exist for mere seconds before destabilizing, making research extremely difficult. Related elements are also introduced in each book, giving the full scope of the element's profile.

Series Review: Understanding the Elements of the Periodic Table"Writing is interesting, conversational and accessible to a wide range of readers. Manganese is another title in this excellent series, which provides a sound introduction and starting point for research on the chemical elements. Recommended purchase for middle school libraries as well as would fill the needs of reluctant readers and entry level research at the high school level."
