Uncovering the secrets of salt and mala-tang
The world of elements that you understand on your own

Any elementary school student with even the slightest interest in science is bound to be interested in chemistry.
But to satisfy this child's curiosity, what if an adult explained it like this?
“Chemistry is the study of matter.
Basic substances are called elements, and elements include things like carbon and nitrogen.
Everything in the world is made of atoms.
“The first element on the periodic table is~!”
Children immediately block their ears.
If you approach it as a study from the beginning, it will just be boring and uninteresting.
The best way to study chemistry is to notice how these elements are incorporated into our daily lives.
When you realize that salt is also made of elements, and that the reason your tongue feels tingly when you eat mala-tang is also made of elements, elements suddenly become part of your daily life.
Therefore, this book focuses on elements closely related to daily life among the 118 elements, naturally leading children to transform their daily curiosity into solid chemical knowledge.

From cute pictures and friendly explanations
All the chemistry vocabulary and concepts you need to know!
A new concept elementary chemistry book that captures both fun and knowledge.

This book is composed in the form of 8-10 cut cartoons.
Not only are the pictures cute and easy on the eyes, but they also express the chemical reactions of elements that middle school students only learn about in an easy way that even elementary school students can understand.
Also, if you follow the friendly explanations of author Lee Dong-hoon, who wrote “Children’s Science Common Sense That Sticks in Your Head Even with a Quick Look,” you will naturally come to understand scientific principles.
The 'Learn More' corner will help you resolve any questions you may have and help you practice scientific thinking by connecting it to your daily life.
There is also a corner for children who, while reading comics, become curious about chemistry and elements and develop a desire to learn more.
Separate pages explaining somewhat difficult concepts, such as the structure of atoms, the origins of element names, and the periodic table, are placed throughout the book to satisfy the curiosity and intellectual desires of 'budding chemistry prodigies.'
After reading this book, your child will have an eye for interpreting the world through chemistry.
To help your child overcome his or her growing questions, why not read this book and delve into chemistry with your child?
