Mike Shaw
What do garbage bags, vitamins, mannequins and false teeth have in common? After completing the first activity in this great book, your students will know: these products all contain polymers. Written by teacher Mike Shaw for middle and high school students, this book describes 26 easy, fun activities.
While they're dissecting diapers, puckering polyethylene, chomping on chewing gum and making strange starches, students will be learning concepts of polymer chemistry, such as stress on crystallite structures, how non-Newtonian liquids act, and how temperature and other variables affect polymer elasticity.
Each activity includes a list of materials, easy to understand procedures, an explanation of how to use the experiment or ways to explain the results, and a list of references. Grades 7-11. 65 pp., spiral bound.
