About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 5-8?These series titles cover where these substances are found, how they were discovered, their characteristics and reactions, and their importance in the human body and the environment. Each volume includes a double-page spread on the element's position in the periodic table. The captioned, full-color drawings, photographs, and diagrams clarify the text while boxed "Did You Know?" items offer interesting extensions to it. Environmental issues considered include pollution from noxious gases and acid rain in Nitrogen, and the thinning of the ozone layer in Oxygen. Informative, accessible science books that will be of interest for both general reading and report writing.?Carolyn Angus, The Claremont Graduate School, CA
