Series statement

Exploring the elements

Summary

"Soda cans are made from aluminum, but where did that metal come from? Earth's core contains nickel and iron--and so do meteorites that fall from outer space. You are a carbon-based life form, but are there life forms based on other elements? Silver can be made into jewelry, but is also used in medical tools. Your body also processes elements--the air you breathe contains oxygen and nitrogen. In this ten-book series, we'll break the elements out of the confines of the periodic table, and show readers what they can really do. How do elements impact everyday life? Let's find out!"--, Provided by publisher
