Description

Get this book in soft cover print to experience it fully. The Metal Horn Unicorn Tribe and their techno-magical unicorn friends from Unimaise are the perfect group to familiarize your child with metals and other elements in the Periodic Table.

Their theme is No Metal, No Magic...and No Technology. Alumna starts out this elemental alphabet book by introducing the very necessary metal,

Aluminum, on her element page. Dr. Zinko rounds out the alphabet by presenting facts and other fun information about the metal, Zinc, on his. Other members of the Metal Horn Tribe, plus some of their magical elemental friends, will give some great insight into the properties of 23 additional pure metals from the periodic table.

There is one special unicorn in the book whose horn and hooves are an alloy created by combining Copper and Zinc. Cornum, the Brass-Horned unicorn will reveal some interesting things about that metal.

Readers will love learning some magical and sciencey facts with the Metal Horn Unicorn Tribe. A unicorn themed periodic table, trading cards representing each of the 26 unicorns and their elements plus fun lesson cards; and more are also available as printable downloads.

Kids will have fun singing along with the No Metal, No Magic song, too.

I am an unapologetic nerd when it comes to the Periodic Table but by the time I'm done teaching the unit, my fifth graders love it too. Here is a great book to help my students learn. Not too wordy, but filled with clever facts and some mystery too. I love the use of Latin and German root words also.

This was such a fun book! Never mind kids, I’m in my 30s and I loved it 😂 amazing illustrations and makes learning fun (made me remember/relearn my chemistry lessons). Definitely kids will love this as it’ll make chemistry more fun for them. Highly recommend.

This is an alphabet book that I never would have expected to see! It is centered around different types of metals, as introduced by unicorns. Each page is packed with information about the metal. My favorite sections were where the metal can be found and the "Did you know?" facts.

I can see myself showing this to my high school Chemistry students and I bet many will get a kick out of it! There's plenty of additional information about the periodic table in the back of the book that is also useful to a Chemistry student.

I wish it had been aligned with more of our standards, but this was a nice read through. We are doing HMH's Module J right now and it's dry so I was hoping I could pull a couple ideas from Durant's book. This appears to be a fabulous resource I would love to incorporate next year when we do this unit again.

Thank you Netgalley and the Publisher for making an ARC available.

What a lovely way of saying, “science can be fun.” This is a unique and whimsical way of teaching kids the periodic table. The cover and the illustrations of this little book are excellent. There was one issue, and that was the pages. There were too many things happening at once on one page.

I will admit that when I picked up this book for the first time I was a little overwhelmed at what I had gotten myself into. I ended up watching the cute YouTube book trailer and it all clicked (plus the catchy song would not get out of my head)! It was a great book that is packed with information that is perfect for not only middle school students but also for anyone interested in the periodic table.

My first thought when I opened this book was, why wasn't this around 30 years ago when I had to learn the periodic table! I definitely would have remember it.

Each page had dedicated to a unicorn names after an element. There are facts about each of the elements, with fantastic illustrations.

The book was fun and enjoyable to look at and flick through. I'm sure as they work their way through, my kids will retain slot of info with out realising they are studying.
