Inquiry into Physical Science: A Contextual Approach Volume 2: Kitchen Science: Will Science Be a Guest at Your Next Dinner?

  New material in this edition includes: An expanded discussion of elements, mixtures, and compounds, including a discussion of heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. A new Activity and a new Making Connections exercise on Elements, Mixtures and Compounds A new version of the Making Connections exercise on the Classification of Matter. The Activity and the accompanying Making Connections exercise on the Electrolysis of Water have been extensively overhauled.
