MamaBearTeacher Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 To answer my own question: We just read How Did We Find Out About Atoms? by Isaac Asimov and it was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I have no idea about this one, but it's in my amazon cart at the moment: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0595456162/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadnbutter Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 We liked How to Split the Atom by Hazel Richardson. Explained it all very clearly with some cute illustrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 We love Asimov's books. Also used this past year: Chemistry: The Birth of a Science, Tom McGowen What's Smaller than a Pygmy Shrew? Robert Wells is simple, but fun.... Routes of Science: Atoms and Molecules, Chris Woodford and Martin Clowes The Periodic Table, Sharon Cooper For more specific types of atoms: The Elements: Silver, Susan Watt Metal, Claire Llewelyn The Story of Oxygen, Karen Fitzgerald (really liked this one!) Nuclear Fusion: The Bomb, Sidney Lens From Steam Engines to Nuclear Fusion, Carol Ballard Nuclear fission: The Neutron, Fred Bortz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
