Subject: TARGET: Books on elements for 13-14 year olds

Subject: Re: Science books on the elements
I am currently planning a two week unit on the elements to develop
students' research skills (my aim) and produce some great display work (
the science department's aim). I have some money to spend on resources but
on looking on the internet at the book shop offerings, I found most of them
are American. I should be grateful if anyone could let me know what they
think of those I have found, and suggest any others which you may have
found useful.

Good Internet sites would also be very welcome.

The range of ability is very wide, with some students whose literacy and/or
reasoning skills are very poor.

This is a fairly new type of activity for my school, and I'd like it to be
as successful as possible.

I'll post a hit if anyone else is interested.
