(Guter Chemieunterricht war schon immer Experimentalunterr...)
Guter Chemieunterricht war schon immer Experimentalunterricht, denn chemische Versuche haben seit Jahrhunderten einen unverwechselbaren Reiz auf die Zuschauer ausgeübt. Die Gefahrenstoffverordnung und die Entsorgungsproblematik zwingen Lehrende heute zum Umdenken. Chemie en miniature ermöglicht eine Renaissance in der chemischen Experimentierkunst, denn alle Versuche werden im Miniaturmaßstab durchgeführt, mit Hilfe einer Kamera gefilmt und auf einen Bildschirm beliebiger Größe projiziert. So können alle Zuschauer selbst in großen Sälen das Geschehen im Detail verfolgen. Auch die Gefährdung beim Experimentieren ist bei diesen extrem kleinen Mengen ausgeschlossen, die notwendigen Chemikalienmengen werden drastisch gesenkt, die Abfallmengen verringern sich bis auf das Tausendfache, der Verlauf der Experimente ist durch die Videotechnik und durch mögliche Zeitlupenaufnahmen viel genauer zu beobachten. Was spricht also noch gegen Experimente? Jedoch nicht nur Experimente bietet Ihnen dieses Werk, sondern auch die Geschichte der einzelnen für die Reaktionen verwendeten Stoffe. Lassen Sie sich auf eine Entdeckungsreise ein!

H. W. Roesky K. Mockel Chemical Curiosities Spectacular Experiments and Inspired Quotes over 9000 copies of the German edition sold in 18 months The remarkable achievement of the "Roesky/Mockel" is the linkage between the world of the human spirit, expressed in literature and historical continuity, and the art of chemical demonstration. One expects Goethe to move freely in the pages of "Chemical Curiosities", but Whitman, Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, Salvador Dali, Montaigne, and the prophet Jeremiah! They serve too, authentically and ingeniously, in the authors deeply humanistic approach to science. The chemical and literary strands of this book are so ably intertwined. Roald Hoffmann

(Written by the author of the award-winning Chemische Kabi...)
Written by the author of the award-winning Chemische Kabinettstucke this book demonstrates over 80 enjoyable, impressive and sometimes almost unbelievable chemical experiments for the classroom, lecture hall or home. All the experiments are explained in full, and have been tested several times such that their successful reproduction is guaranteed. Grouped into several cycles--water, the color blue, the color red, soles, and self-organization--the topics are perfect for experimental lectures or school projects. Detailed illustrations and the lively writing style make this book equally attractive to readers interested in chemistry, even if they are unable to perform the experiments.
