Matter is everywhere! This book uses real-world examples to bring the concept of the states of matter to life in an approachable way. Clearly-written text draws in readers with concrete examples involving familiar, everyday things, from gas grills to ice cubes. The book covers the history of and key figures in the understanding of the states of matter. Major concepts covered include solids, liquids, gases, plasma, crystals, atomic bonds, surface...

Everything you can touch and hold is made up of matter - including you, your dog, and this book! Matter is stuff that you can weigh and that takes up space, which means pretty much everything in the world is made of matter!

"In this interactive picture book, young readers squish, squeeze, and jiggle matter on the page, using their imagination to conduct simple lab experiments. They learn that matter comes in all shapes and sizes and can change from solid to liquid to gas. Back matter includes a real-world experiment for investigating matter"--

"Using the new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the My World of Science series provides the earliest readers with background on key STEM concepts. States of Matter explores basic chemistry and the states of solid, liquid, and gas in a simple, engaging way that will help readers develop word recognition and reading skills. Includes a glossary and index."--

"How matter behaves depends on its state. Whether something is a solid, liquid, or gas can change how it may respond to outside forces, including temperature. This topic might seem complicated to some, but in this book, the states of matter are explained through fun, relatable examples and diagrams to reinforce science curriculum content. Hands-on experiments featuring equipment readers can find around the house allow them to apply their knowledge...

"What's the matter with the three little pigs? They're being tormented by a hungry wolf! And no matter what kind of matter they use to build their homes, it doesn't matter. The STEM-savvy, rhyme-loving wolf in this fractured fairy tale always seems to spoil the day. A glossary and critical thinking questions support the story's physics content"--

"In States of Matter, early fluent readers will learn how states of matter and the physics behind them impact our universe every day. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text will engage young readers as they learn more about the laws, history, and applications of these foundational STEM concepts. Infographics and sidebars present interesting, supplementary information, and an activity offers readers an opportunity to extend discovery....

Offers an introduction to the structure of atoms and explains how they fit together to form molecules and materials, in a volume that includes coverage of the periodic table, classification systems, and the properties of mixtures and compounds.

"From a pea to a planet, matter is found everywhere. Learn all about the stuff that makes up everything with mass, from its atomic structure to how atomic movement causes changes in its form. It's key physics curriculum made approachable for all!"--

Introduction to the concept of matter, including states of matter; volume and mass; and atoms, electrons, and protons. Explains microscopic properties of matter and the periodic table of elements.
