Review: Totally recommend this book! Great presentation and colours used make this a book to pick up. Key language and terminology used and facts are interesting and engaging. As a science teacher, I see lots of these types of books but would recommend this for KS3 and perhaps even KS4. I’m working my way through an element a night and I’m 55 and teach it ????

Review: Unfortunately I ended up in a secondary modern school with an education designed for laborers and factory fodder. So never benefited from being taught properly in sciences and languages so in my mid sixties it’s a delight to catch up.
