Most of the materials around us contain blends of more than one substance. These are mixtures and solutions. Seawater, for example, is a solution of salt and water. The engaging text and vivid illustrations in this book will help readers understand how mixtures and solutions form and how they apply to everyday life. Topics include • the difference between mixtures and solutions • how solutions may be diluted or concentrated • how distillation...

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...

This book in the Primary Physical Science series is full of surprising facts and hands-on activities to help kids explore solids, liquids and gases.

Though one of the three most common states of matter on Earth, gases, as they are most often invisible, can be tough for young students to conceptualize. This book offers clarity in the form of straightforward diagrams and easy-to-understand text. Readers will comprehend such physical science concepts as evaporation, condensation, compressibility, fluidity, and volume with ease.

Presents information about the properties of solids, liquids, and gases, using observation and activities.

Explains the different types of matter and how it changes from one state to another by applying heat or pressure.

Why do anchors sink but corks float? Is it magic? No! It's physical science! By combining clear overviews with enlightening photography and diagrams, this volume will ensure that students understand the basic properties and variability of solid matter.

"In [this book], early fluent readers will learn how states of matter and the physics behind them impact our universe every day. Color photos and . . . leveled text will engage young readers as they learn more about the laws, history, and applications of these foundational STEM concepts"--Provided by publisher.
