Teaching Method
Traditional

Classical
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
Beginning with the periodic table, each chapter teaches one element through text and hands-on activities. Elements include hydrogen, helium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, calcium, iron, copper, and tin. Concludes with a chapter on the “dirty dozen", a snapshot of deadly elements. (No experiments are included for the dirty dozen!)
Publisher's Description of Book of Ingeniously Daring Chemistry
In this introduction to chemistry for STEM-curious kids ages 9 and up, each chapter of The Book of Ingeniously Daring Chemistry focuses on a single element—its properties, how it was discovered, and even its potential danger level. Easy-to-follow experiments help readers put their newfound knowledge into action. All that's needed is a sense of adventure and some items from around the house. Make your own fossil with silicon. Use a pinhead and measure 166 feet of string for a mind-boggling insight into how a hydrogen atom is built. Discover oxygen and oxygenation by slicing an apple and seeing what happens an hour later. Harness the power of zinc with a potato clock. And enjoy a special hands-off feature about the "Dirty Dozen"—those nasty elements, from arsenic to plutonium, that can wreak havoc wherever they appear (there are no experiments using these chemicals). Matter really matters, and now you'll really understand why.
Category Description for Irresponsible Science
Irresponsible and science are not words that should be used together! But, in this case, it works and works well. At the heart of this series is the idea that children take a break from their day-to-day responsibilities to engage in scientific exploration and discovery. The experiments are safe, well thought out, and fully explained! Household or easily sourced items are required. Parental oversight is also suggested for the activities.
