Visual Learning: Chemistry: An illustrated guide for all ages (Barron's Visual Learning)

I am studying chemistry so I can help my daughter with her homework ( in a few years..)This is the perfect book - I have had chemistry years ago in college but remember NONEof it, so this is a great place for me to start.. It is very visually appealing which helpsme a great deal. I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in learningand/or reviewing this incredible science !

This is a great visual textbook alternative for high school students including those pursuing more advanced chemistry courses.Pros:Each chapter is distilled into the essentials with clear detailed visuals while still going into sufficient detail for meaningful exploration. For example, I had a student use this text to support research for an independent exploration into nuclear chemistry and its applications in 3 major chemotherapy treatments for a comparative literature review. Each chapter ends with a comprehensive mindmap to connect all of the concepts explored in the chapter.Cons:There are no practice problems or end of chapter questions.

I believe this is first of the kind of books that provide visual learning without sacrificing neither the accuracy not the correct scientific jargon. The mind mapping, flow charting kind of visual models along with relevant subtext encourages young readers to go for self learning. My 10 year old child is thoroughly enjoying it.

The illustrations in this book aid in reader’s understanding.

I have my fifth grade daughter do this, and she does just fine! With all the pictures, examples, and diagrams, I recommend this for all who is interested. Chemistry used to be boring...not on this book! I love how they made all the words so easy and clear to read. The pictures also go just so well with the paragraphs! My only trouble with this is that they put a bit too much on one page. I would be so grateful if they maybe spread all the information out. Thank you!

The media could not be loaded. A beautiful, informative and great version. It's fun to browse through and just look at the pictures. Great and simple explanations.
