For those who like to do some practical experiments

Thanks !

i've been looking for something like this for ages, thanks very much for putting it up sonofsnow .

I bought my little brother a good chemistry set for his birthday thinking we'll both learn something from it and have a bit of fun on sunday afternoons, but when he opened the box saying "over 100 fun experiments inside" there was no book included and there was no mention of it on the website either... so i basically bought him a box of aparatus and chemicals that's useless without a guide of somesort.

hopefully theres some cool stuff in this book.

cheers.

thanks for the upload, I hope the new members give this a read. The common chemicals and their formulas section, complete with a where to buy, is handy.

Looks like a book I had when I was a kid in the 1960s. Good basic stuff to start learning from.

A classic! The illustrations are brilliant.

Some pretty hardcore stuff in there, like playing around with H2S. Don't try this at home!

I first learned about it when reading about this guy who built a nuclear reactor at home with the help of americium from smoke detectors - apparently this was his favourite book as a kid!
