Electric Pickle

This indispensible handbook that gives you detailed instructions on how to perform 50 science experiments to explore the properties of the elements. You'll learn how to conjure up a genie from a bottle (Mn, Manganese), shoot flames from a cornstarch-powered torch (O, Oxygen), cook up ghastly green eggs (S, Sulfur), and much more. The Electric Pickle is also sprinkled with mind-bending scientific facts and entertaining sidebars about historic experiments and less common, often dangerous, elements.
