Early humans ground pigments to create durable paint for cave walls, and over the next 70 thousand years or so as civilizations took hold around the globe, people learned to make better medicines and discovered how to extract, mix, and smelt metals for cooking vessels, weapons, and jewelry. Early chemists distilled perfume, made soap, and perfected natural inks and dyes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eModern chemistry\u003c\/b\u003e was born around 250 years ago, when measurement, mathematics, and the scientific method were officially applied to experimentation. In 1896, after the first draft of the periodic table was published, scientists rushed to fill in the blanks. The elemental discoveries that followed gave scientists the tools to visualize the building blocks of matter for the first time in history, and they proceeded to deconstruct the atom. Since then, discovery has accelerated at an unprecedented rate. At times, modern chemistry and its creations have caused heartbreaking, unthinkable harm, but more often than not, it makes our lives better. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With this fascinating, hands-on exploration of the history of chemistry, \u003cb\u003einspire the next generation of great scientists.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Dig into even more incredible science history from \u003cb\u003eThe Kitchen Pantry Scientist series\u003c\/b\u003e with: \u003ci\u003eBiology for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePhysics for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMath for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eand Ecology for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quarry Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46838132048028,"sku":"9781631598302","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7616\/7324\/files\/9781631598302.jpg?v=1778493067","url":"https:\/\/bronzeandbrass.store\/products\/the-kitchen-pantry-scientist-chemistry-for-kids-science-experiments-and-activities-inspired-by-awesome-chemists-past-and-present-with-25-illustrate-paperback","provider":"Bronze \u0026 Brass","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
