Terry, thanks for sharing.

Do you know who edited these books? I just finished reading "How we found out about ATOMS."

Overall, it was a nice review of the history of atomic theory. But I was really surprised he didn't even mention Dmitri Mendeleev, the Russian chemist that worked out the Periodic table. Also notably missing was the work of J. J. Thomson and his discovery of the electron and Ernest Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment. He really glossed over the late 1800s - early 1900's.

Also, there were a lot of typographical errors.

It's be nice if there was a cleaner, typo-free copy for educational purposes.

adjusted knowledge

Those three scientist were key to the discovery of the atoms and its parts. Surprised he didn't at least cover the gold foil experiment.

I will definitely down load those pdfs for my daughter.

An important tool for all is to keep an open mind.

Oubliette

HMTM, an open mind is certainly important, but with out critical thinking skills a person can be led to believe almost anything.

An open mind seeks to examine all views and possibilities. An open mind is not restricted to one view or possibility. An open mind is not settled with clinging to what they believed yesterday or today. An open mind is free from fear. An open mind does not follow anyone.

An open mind is never content to simply "know" but rather to continually seek to know even when the knowing is uncomfortable or unacceptable. Even when the knowing destroys one's firm beliefs or disbelief. An open mind is not fixed.

For something to be science it has to be falsefiable ...Karl Popper is your man ❤

Thanks for sharing, as always. This is great for my 9 yr olds, and me!

Nice opening young brains to reality instead of delusion, this is the stuff I need I have a lot of kids.
