Top Reddit reviews mentioning Children's School Issues books:
This book is considered too dangerous for public consumption, so it's hard to find paper copies, and most libraries removed it from their shelves in the 1960s. Nevertheless, many of today's chemists (including me) learned a lot about handling chemicals from that book.

A more up-to-date (and presumably safer) text is this one:
I'm an atheist dad. Let me start by saying that I don’t know too many atheists who are concerned that their kids don’t believe in god. Most of us are way more concerned about teaching them how to think, not what to think. When our son was your son’s age, we gave him children’s books that taught critical thinking. Stuff like Dan Barker’s Maybe Yes, Maybe No.
That said, there are some religious beliefs that are directly harmful, and need to be addressed immediately. In my son’s case it was the fear of hell. He had some friends that were being raised in Cristian homes. So, of course, he was exposed to Christian concepts. He knew (as well as a ten-year-old can) that we were committed to raising him to arrive at his own beliefs. But he was genuinely scared. I thought it was important to show him that his fears of hell were unfounded. I asked him if he was scared of the Islamic hell. He said no. I asked him if he was worried that he might get reincarnated as a bug after he died (many of his friends are Hindu). He chuckled and said no. After a bit he got it.
Wow, this post gained more traction then I expected, haha. For those curious, yes, it's for sale! You can buy it here on Amazon, but it's currently out of stock.
I suggest a few things:
- ebay
- used book stores near you
- This set from Amazon
- You can also search through Amazon and look in the Used section instead of new. You'll have more options there.
I hope this helps!
Don't call yourself a liberal if you haven't read theory
Educate yourself sweaty. 🙄
Reading has always been the love of my life and one of my greatest passions. Throughout the toughest times of my life, reading was always there for me and was as my escape from the real world. When I am feeling down I immerse myself in stories and characters that help me distract myself from the troubles around me. One specific book that had a great impact on my life was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone not only introduced me to the wonderful world of Harry Potter, (one of my biggest loves to this day) but it helped me through one of the darkest points of my life. During my teenage years, I battled many personal issues (I’d rather not get into them) and sticking my nose into Harry Potter books helped me to feel safe and happy during my darkest times. I took comfort in the characters and the story in a way in which I had never felt before. I will always be thankful for the magic that Harry Potter brought into my life!
Thank you so much for holding such a generous contest for us bookworms.
Actually this was me as well throughout quarantine here let me share a book I’ve been doing labs out of here most of it is labs you would do in a general chem course and it explains all of the safety tips required to complete all of the labs, I’m not sure I can recommend the last 5 labs as they use more dangerous chemicals (formaldehyde 30-40%, methanol, chloroform, barium hydroxide, etc.) let me know if that helps.
Pottermore shopを見たところ、電子版ならKindle, kobo, Reader等で買えるようです。紙の本のほうが好きな場合はamazonでアメリカ版の取り扱いはあります。参考程度にどうぞ。
Seriously, I'd recommend reading the English version. I gave up reading the Japanese translations because of the terrible quality. I doubt Matsuoka (or Seizansha) would let go of the only successful book they released, so I wouldn't hope for re-translations if I were you.
I have no idea if you're in the States (ignore if you're not) but you can get the whole set fairly cheap on Amazon. For the same price (at least it is where I am), it is also available in Costco. If you're near one but don't have a card I'd bet someone in your life can get you in. Alternatively they used to sell day use cards, dunno if they do still but worth a shot.
I wholeheartedly agree that you should read the books before you progress further into the movies. It is a very different and enriching experience!
Get books then and read them together. The ones in our sidebar are pretty good and the best part is Amazon has a little carousel of related books so you can quite easily end up finding a whole shelf full of potential content.
One particularly good book to promote skepticism is Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics
There is also the Awkward Moments Children's Bible, Vol. 1
Which says it isn't for children and I'm going to hee and haw about that as I feel the Bible itself is inappropriate for Children and I further feel it is dishonest that many children's Bible's gloss over some bad parts. If you get it maybe read over it yourself before deciding if it's appropriate, I'd definitely give it to a teenager without reservation but younger children it depends on how mature they are and what you want them exposed to.
Anyways best of luck!
Amazon Link for those looking for it.
Adding to this-- it's $31.09 shipped here in the states in Paperback
Scots really is it's own thing. (I know that video is Glaswegian but it still cracks me up)
I love that there is a Scots version of Harry Potter
I haven't needed such a resource, because I'm an adult, but I always thought this book might be useful: https://www.amazon.ca/Maybe-Yes-No-Guide-Skeptics/dp/0879756071/ref=sr_1_1?crid=308T5KHWESGZ9&keywords=maybe+yes+maybe+no&qid=1668334470&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=maybe%2520yes%2520mayb...
10gb of text is a LOT of text. The entire Harry Potter series is just over a million words (1,084,170) which is roughly 2MB. So 10 gigabytes is the entire Harry Potter series 5,000 times.
If you printed all five thousand copies into the paperback box set which is 10.6 x 8.5 x 5.5 inches and weighs 6.6 pounds, you would have 16.5 tons of paper filling 1433 cubic feet of space.
> I am just not sure the best way to go about any of this.
Be honest, and teach critical thinking, and the rest will take care of itself. there a bunch of good books that are age-appropriate. Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics is a good example.
I'm not sure about whether you can "improve your intelligence," but you absolutely can improve your cognitive functioning. Check out Barbara Oakley -- Learning How to Learn.
Coursera -- Learning how to Learn (free!)
Amazon Books -- Learning how to Learn
And honestly, don't worry about your IQ as a number -- it only measures your ability to take the test! Just work as hard as you can. Seriously, though, do the Coursera thing. There is so much great advice on there!
Doar un FYI: exista cursul asta si cartea asta. Nu stiu cat te ajuta ca eu le-am descoperit relativ recent si am terminat scoala de mult (nici nu am trecut complet prin curs, dar pare foarte interesant cat am facut din el).
I’ve been doing experiments from a book called “Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments”. It’s pretty interesting, though I wouldn’t say they’re all particularly useful. But it is a pretty good intro to several different types of chemistry processes.
Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments: All Lab, No Lecture (DIY Science) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0596514921/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_WEH8CRP1KVSMZX67NMV7
We're atheists, so my son was raised on a non-religious environment. When he was about that age he had questions about hell, death, etc. from friends, schoolmates, and media. We, like others here, told him that no one knows what happens after death. But the time to believe something is when it's indicated by evidence.
This is a good time to start teaching children critical thinking. There are great books on it for kids of all ages, like <em>Maybe Yes, Maybe No</em> by Dan Barker.
Our jobs as parents isn't to teach them what to think, but how to think. With a good epistemological toolbox, kids are more prepared for the real world.
Not Scots Gaelic, but Scots. I have a copy of it.
It’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stane.
Maybe Yes, Maybe No: A Guide for Young Skeptics would be a good book to help. You just have to teach them to ask questions and demand proof when claims are made.
The Scots translation is a real version you can buy.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stane (Scots Language Edition) (Scots Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1785301543/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_3GJR74TTPTNA4CBJVQCN
Not sure if I'm allowed to post the link... but here it is to Amazon! The Office : A Day at Dunder Mifflin Elementary
Then you are probably gonna hate that even the Harry Potter book was translated to Scots
https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Philosophers-Stane-Language/dp/1785301543
While not official, many people consider Scots its own language and not just an accent
This is a good resource that covers everything from equipment and safety to the actual experiments. https://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Guide-Home-Chemistry-Experiments/dp/0596514921/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=home+chemistry+experiments&qid=1634943668&qsid=146-7916348-6126801&sr=8-3&sres=0596514921%2CB08DY3W8CL%2C1449396...
