Publisher's summary

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.

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. Can your kids honestly say that they enjoy science lessons? The chances are, science lessons aren’t their favorite part of school life. So how can you engage your kids and help them understand the world better? The answer is simple: by making it fun.

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:

  • 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 the first time around
  • 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
  • Essential lab room safety explained and demystified
  • 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 you want your child to be inspired and engage with chemistry in a whole new way, click “Buy Now".

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Enjoyable and educational for kids

I really appreciated how the concepts of chemistry were explained in analogies to how kids understand other things. I think this would be a good book to supplement any learning for kids that are homeschooled. There are questions to get the listener to explain the concepts they've learned in their own words to summarize what they've learned.

Nerdy fun

I listened to this with both my mom (who was a chemistry teacher) and my niece (who is currently a chemistry student) in the car over the holiday. It actually led to some really great conversations. It's clearly a fantastic study guide, but even if you're not in AP Chem, it's still really cool and interesting. Great narration as well. Recommend!

Brilliant Chemistry lesson!

That's the way science should be taught in school! You don't' need your kids to show interest in Chemistry, before you buy them this audio.
The opposite - this book will induce interest and love for Chemistry and science in general.
Beautiful work presenting the wonders of chemical elements and interaction, presented by a talented narrator with great care for using easy to understand language.
This audio was able to keep my two younger sons listening attentively, interacting during the quizes.
The research and organization of the material is perfect and useful!
I found this book to be a truly delightful and I recommend it wholeheartedly!
Too short though...
