Ions (Science)

What makes salt dissolve in water? How does electricity move? Why do atoms join together to form everything in the universe—from the air we breathe to the food we eat? The answer begins with ions.

In this accessible and engaging introduction to chemistry, young readers discover the tiny charged particles that make life possible. With simple explanations and real‑world examples, the book shows how ions form, why they matter, and how they create the endless variety of compounds around us. Kids will see that chemistry isn’t just something in a lab—it’s happening all around them, all the time.

Children will learn:

• What ions are and how they gain or lose electrons
• Why ions are essential for forming compounds
• How ions help plants grow, power our devices, and keep our bodies working
• Fun, easy‑to‑grasp examples that make abstract ideas feel concrete

Perfect for classrooms, families, and curious young scientists, Ions (Science) turns a complex topic into an exciting journey through the building blocks of matter—helping kids understand the invisible forces that shape their world.
