A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Description
Why not use fun experiments to learn about chemistry? No need to buy expensive equipment; this book uses common household items to teach you about the basic principles of chemistry. While the experiments are geared toward fourth to sixth grade students, they will appeal to all ages. The thirty experiments ask questions like, “Can the flavor of apples be isolated from apple cider vinegar?” or “Are there water molecules in the air?” Each illustrated experiment gives you a list of materials needed, how to perform the experiment, things to observe, and discussion points. A complete list of materials used in the experiments is included in the back. Softcover. 82 pgs. ~ Gina
Category Description for Adventures With Atoms And Molecules
This book contains thirty illustrated experiments that are easy and fun to complete. The simple chemistry experiments each begin by asking a general chemistry question such as, "Do molecules move?" or "Are rubber molecules less bouncy when cold?" or "Can salt remove water from the air?" Each experiment includes a complete materials list. Most of the required materials are common items such as food coloring, salt, baking soda, rubber bands, and paper clips. All of the projects also include proper procedures, things to look for, and a thorough discussion of the results. Learn about the basic principles of chemistry in a hands-on and fun way with this great book. ~ Rachel
What is the link between cooking, firefighting, medicine, fabric, fireworks, and vegetables? The answer is chemistry! While chemistry may be something done in the laboratory by scientists, chemistry is also commonly used in factories and chemical plants, not to mention in the home too. The books in this series are designed to introduce children to the basic principles of chemistry through understandable text, brightly colored illustrations, and simple experiments. The informative experiments follow the fourstep
scientific process and use common household materials such as vinegar, purple cabbage, baking soda, galvanized nails/screws, modeling clay, etc. Each book also contains a reference section with the periodic table and a glossary of technical terms. 48 pgs, pb. ~Deanne

Why did you choose this?
Out of the many chemistry experiment books I have looked in to, this one appears to be better in walking the parent and child through the experiments. Such as the why and the how.
