Color and light are the focus of this long-awaited fifth volume
in the "Chemical Demonstrations" series, which describes
demonstrations that effectively communicate science to both
students and general audiences. Using full color illustrations, the
book provides meticulous instructions for safely demonstrating
colorful phenomena and illustrating scientific principles. A rich
introductory section explores the science of color and light,
outlines the chemical processes of vision, and explains what
happens when visual information enters the human eye and is
perceived by the brain. With more than fifty demonstrations and
multiple procedures included, this volume offers abundant
opportunities to arouse and sustain interest in science for both
classroom and public presentations.
Each demonstration includes:
- a brief description of the demonstration
- a materials list
- a step-by-step account of procedures to be used
- an explanation of the potential hazards involved
- information on safely storing and disposing the chemicals
used
- a full discussion of the phenomena displayed and principles
illustrated
- a list of references.
Created by acclaimed chemists and science educators Bassam
Shakhashiri and his collaborators Rodney Schreiner and Jerry Bell,
these demonstrations make an impressive addition to the earlier
volumes, which have been lauded for guiding teachers and scientists
in effectively communicating science. Like all volumes in the
series, Volume 5 communicates chemistry using pedagogical knowledge
to enhance the effectiveness of demonstrations to all
audiences.
