Abstract
THIS little handbook, evidently the outcome of long experience in teaching young students, is primarily intended for science masters in secondary schools. It includes a well-selected and well-arranged collection of lecture and class experiments designed to establish the laws of chemistry and to confirm the atomic theory. By actually doing some of these and having others demonstrated to them, students should obtain a clearer conception of the fundamentals of chemistry than they could derive from a mere recitation of the evidence adduced by the pioneers and the more recent advances by later research workers.
Fundamental Experiments in Chemistry: a Handbook for Teachers and Students; Lecture and Class Experiments to establish Chemical Laws and to confirm the Atomic Theory.
