why glass eyes aren't really made of glass?
what would make the worst stink bomb ever?
how to make your own toothpaste?
If you think you can stomach the `sick' side of Science, then read on as chaotic chemistry is put to the test.
Find out about some extraordinary experiments that went horribly wrong, discover the secrets of some very strange scientists and try your hand at some chaotic chemistry in the comfort of your own kitchen.
With fantastic fact files and quirky quizzes, teacher tests and crazy cartoons, `Chemical Chaos', is bubbling over with info!'
158 pages, written in a variety of fonts in the usual Nick Arnold entertaining style.
Black and white illustrations/cartoons throughout, as well as `Bet you never knew' fact-boxes, e.g.:-
`Oxygen can't burn on its own, but when mixed with other gases it can burn horribly well. In 1996 a hospital patient removed an oxygen mask under the sheets to smoke a cigarette. His bed filled with oxygen and exploded! And that wasn't the nastiest gas disaster!'
Science has never been so horrible!

This is a very good science book that is good for pupils that arelearning about chemicals and chemistry altogether. It is great for its price. Nick Arnold makes Science come alive and Tony De Saulles makes it a lot more fun with all the pictures and illustrations

Delightful chemistry!
16 April 1999
Format:Paperback
Chemical Chaos presents a delightful history of scientific development while teaching basic chemistry. Information is presented in cartoon-style which is readable by ages 10 and up. The experiments are not extensive but are well-thought out to demonstrate scientific principles. And the experiments are easy, use readily-available materials, include safe practices, and apply to everyday life.

CHEMICAL CHAOS!
18 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
My dad first found these in England. He thought I might like them so he got a few for me. I really LOVED reading them in grade and learning stuff. Now, in sixth grade, we are learning the things that I already knew! I showed it to my science teacher and I still haven't gotten it back because she's loaned to so many people! She would read exerpts from it every morning, AND I passed the class with an A+! It's a great book and Nick Arnold is such a good writer, you don't even know how much you're learning. :-)

Nick Arnold does it again, and makes it fun to learn.
4 Sep 1998
Format:Paperback
I have it on good authority that Nick Arnold is no chemist! But reading his excellent children's book 'Chemical Chaos' you'd never know it. He demonstrates remarkable knowledge and research ability, and this book is sure to keep children amused across the world. The whole 'Horrible Science' series is wonderful, and makes learning a pleasure for everyone, young and old alike.
