The Periodic Table Book is the perfect visual guide to the chemical elements that make up our world.
This eye-catching encyclopedia takes children on a visual tour of the 118 chemical elements of the periodic table, from argon to zinc. It explores the naturally occurring elements, as well as the man-made ones, and explains their properties and atomic structures.
Using more than 1,000 full-colour photographs, The Periodic Table Book shows the many natural forms of each element, as well as a wide range of both everyday and unexpected objects in which it is found, making each element relevant for the child's world.

DK Books are a go to publisher for anyone with school age children, They are jam packed full of useful information on a range of subjects and contain those nuggets of information that will add that little something to a piece of homework and make it top of the pile. Their books are always really well put together, full of pages jam packed full of information which is displayed using a range of presentation methods which capture a child's attention and encourages them to research further.
When my children have homework research projects they always head straight to the internet and say they will 'Google it' however if I have a DK book on the topic, they will look at it and often use the information within to add to their project.
The book begins with a comprehensible introduction to what are elements, inside an atom before introducing the periodic table and then on to reactions and their uses. The rest of the book includes double page spreads on many of the elements and smaller sections on the rarer elements. It categorises the elements into their groups and talks about the common properties. Each element is included and has sections on their forms and uses. Their are really interesting facts about the element and it is all written in child friendly language which future scientists will love to read and learn about.
This is the perfect gift for any little scientists and would make a great addition to any science shelf or reference shelf or in a science laboratory or school library. As ever a brilliant book from DK Books.
I received this book from the Amazon Vine Programme in return for an honest review
