As a lover of science, Pearl knows this is her chance to teach her brother all about the states of matter. With augmented reality access to videos, readers will have an enhanced learning experience.

Presents four simple step-by-step experiments that explore materials science. Includes color photographs, real-world examples, a glossary, and a list of additional resources.

Presents information about the different states and properties of matter through discussions of topics such as why lakes freeze; the composition of the earth's atmosphere, crust, and core; and the decay processes in dead fish. The information is conveyed in graphic novel format by a group of characters, including Gordy the rhino, Sam the sandwich, Soggy the stuffed bear, Rick the brick, and Cann-Dee the robot. Includes a glossary, a list of additional...

Matter is everywhere. It is anything that can be touched, moved, or interacted with physically. But when breaking matter down into its tiniest pieces, we find that atoms are made almost entirely of empty space. Join nuclear physicists in exploring how matter acts to make predictions about the world in this engaging physical science book. Fifth-grade readers will examine subatomic particles and electron shells, elements and compounds, covalent and...

Joe Joe the wizard has a problem. His spell to turn homework into chocolate bars has gone to syrup! Come along to learn how solids, liquids, and gases help Joe Joe with his sticky mess. A fun and engaging way to get young readers engaged in science concepts!

Zeolites are natural or synthetic materials with porous chemical structures that are valuable due to their absorptive and catalytic qualities. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are manmade organometallic polymers with similar porous structures. This introductory book, with contributions from top-class researchers from all around the world, examines these materials and explains the different synthetic routes available to prepare zeolites and MOFs. The...

Introduces matter and its states, presents a brief history of the study of matter, and discusses the conditions needed to change between the different forms.

The Garbage Gang spots a dead fish on their fishing trip, and they wonder, Why do dead fish float? Luckily, a live fish helps them out, and soon they're swimming in knowledge about states of matter.
