Through a series of carefully-devised experiments and conversations about the experiments, he leads the boys to an understanding of some of the basic principles of chemistry.

    Super helpful for me in learning chemistry. I loved that it was a story and also a textbook.

  • Courtney Clark

    I didn't love it as much as The Storybook of Science and you have to stay on your toes to catch outdated info. But there just aren't living science books like this made anymore!
