About the
Book:
Learning science
through experimentation is an essential and an important part of a chemistry
course.
Validity of
concepts learned by the student can be tested by experimentation. This
satisfies basic human desire for knowledge of what, how and why of things. In
the absence of application in real life, chemistry is becoming less interesting
and to make it more interesting there is a need for more evidence based
chemistry education with newly designed laboratory chemistry experiments which
are not only exciting and engaging but also instructive.
It is all about
letting children explore their natural instinct to find out how it works.
Science doesn’t have to be boring, dry and dull.
To this end - this
book has been prepared to cater for the needs of students, including SSC, CBSC,
and ICSC ability within the 9 to 10th class.
Also, it is useful for secondary and intermediate level teaching faculty
to teach chemistry practical with fun.
This book also
contains the last two chapter’s Science in Daily Life useful for not only
chemistry students but also students, who are interested in general knowledge
on concepts in science.
We are bringing the
most incredible and fascinating book not only for fun with chemistry but also
application of science in daily life for the first time for curious students.
Don’t believe me? Read on …….
In my opinion
“Chemistry Without Practical is only Half Chemistry and Half Chemistry is no
Chemistry” |
