Hello, welcome to Usborne Books with Laura! This is "Lift-the-Flap Periodic Table." It
has 125 flaps to lift. So have you ever
seen a book about the periodic table
that has flaps? There's so many here! And
it goes through, and it talks about all
of the different chemicals. Here, it talks
about how does the periodic table work,
and there's so many flaps to lift. I
haven't even lifted all of them, but, as
you can see, it's very interactive. Here, it
talks about reactive metals -  ... "if
magnesium catches fire, hosing it with
water would just make the flames worse!"
And then this poor magnesium man is  - he's on fire! Poor thing! But, I mean, imagine if
your child were to read that, and they're
learning about magnesium, you know, having
this visual and having something like a
flap to interact with can really help
them digest that information and
remember it. So it takes things like
lithium and it shows them cutting it in
half. "Francium" - is that how you pronounce
it? It talks about how it easily
disappears, so it shows it looking like
like a magician or something, you know,
because magicians 'disappear'?! .. Okay, anyways!
Here's mercury. It used to be - used to
make felt for hats and then here it
shows mercury wearing a little hat!
This is about transition metals. This is
about soft dull metals. So here we have, I
don't even know, if I'm gonna even try to
pronounce these you guys, but there's so
many flaps all over! My son's only six.
He's not doing chemistry yet! The
elements of life. This is solids, liquids,
and gases. So this says chlorine and then
it says, "It's a green gas bromine, red
purple liquid, and here's hidden elements.
And danger - radioactive elements. This
book is $14.99. It is a fantastic,
fantastic resource for your child who is
learning about chemistry, or who may be
going into chemistry in the next
school year, and this will be a fantastic
resource for them. Thanks for watching!
