The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments (PDF ebook)
Here's a great Chemistry experiments book from the 1960s that was actually BANNED and removed from libraries across the country for being too "dangerous" for young experimenters. Much beloved and enjoyed by young baby boomer experimenters, apparently it was aimed just a bit above the heads of its intended audience as it included some advanced experiments considered hazardous by teachers and librarians. Even though most of the activities and experiments in this Golden Book are safe, a few will need parental supervision should you decide to pursue them.

Too cool!!!! Whoa! Now how about the physics equivalent? Is there a Golden Book of Physics Experiments??? The oldies *are* the goodies to me!
This is great, even if you don't do the experiments, the profiles and history are a great read!
I was having probs with the damaged file. It started after I switched to Firefox. I figured out how to make it work. Rt click on the link and select "Save link as"…. It saves it directly to Adobe PDF for me. Hope it helps.
I am sure my son will love working on these experiments with me. He loves chemical reactions!
Thanks for the great resource! I love this book. We will be doing chemistry next year and this will certainly be a major resource for that.
thank you so much for the Chemistry Experiments book. my kids enjoyed the colourful illustrations and activities. cheers!
This will be perfect for integrating Chemistry in our Culinary Arts and other courses in our Homeschool Education Center!
Thank you! god bless. diane
AdBlock Plus is an EXCELLENT and FREE ad-blocking plug-in for Firefox and Chrome. They also have an ‘element blocker’ add-on (usually a separate download) that lets you hide certain sections on a page — exaple: YouTube’s suggested videos panel. This would be a great thing to learn about and post on freebie-of-the-day. I love it, because it WORKS and my kids are NEVER exposed accidentally to things on the web in our home.
