Chemistry

Creative thinking, be it that of the teacher or the student, has tended to be overlooked in science, but exercising it is important. This book shows how it can be done in chemistry, both in the context of creative chemistry teaching and in learning chemistry. Going beyond principles and ideology, readers will find practical strategies, tools, examples, and case studies in a variety of contexts to bring creative thinking theory into practice. Beginning with a discussion on the nature of creativity, the authors’ debunk misconceptions and address the relationship between creativity and problem solving. Delving into opportunities for practising creative thinking in science, for instance, hypothesis generation and experiment design, the authors’ then move on to discussions around assessing and evaluating creative thinking. Further areas covered include: multisensory chemistry, language and literacy, practical work and story-telling. As a resource, this book points the way to fostering exploration and the development of creative thinking in chemistry for the benefit of the student, and for the benefit of the teacher in offering a source of satisfaction and achievement in the work they do. With a foreword by John Holman.

"This extensive collection of do-it-yourself projects ranges from simple ideas using household materials to sophisticated plans which are unique."--Booklist "[There are] many good projects."--Appraisal "The directions are clear and straightforward."--VOYA From a device that makes sounds waves visible to a unique "pomato" plant, these 100 imaginative and impressive science projects will impress science fair judges and teachers--and astound all the kids in the school. Some of the experiments can be completed quickly, others take more time, thought, and construction, but every one uses readily available materials. Budding Einsteins can make their own plastic, build a working telescope, or choose from a range of ideas in electricity, ecology, astronomy, and other scientific fields.

Henry Ford and George Washington Carver had a unique friendship and a shared vision. This book details their paths to "green" manufacturing and the start of the chemurgic movement in America. It covers a number of little known projects such as their efforts to use ethanol as a national fuel, the use of soybeans for plastic production, and the use of waterpower for factories. This study of their collaboration shows how capitalism can drive the green movement and expand American industry.
