All materials can exist in different states, but what are the differences, and how do materials change from one state to another? This book explores solids, liquids, and gases, looking at their properties and the processes involved in changing state.

Explains what sound is; describes how it is produced, travels, and is picked up by the human ear; and discusses how the pitch and loudness of sounds depend on frequency, wavelength, and amplitude of the sound waves.

This stimulating series is the beginner's guide to a wide range of scientific concepts and topical issues affecting our daily lives. Artifical intelligence examines the idea that non-living things might have intelligence, and explores the agruementsfor and against.

Explains how an electric circuit works and introduces items that act as conductors and insulators.

Everyone is familiar with magnets, but how much do we know about how they actually work? This book explores the basics of magnets, looking at topics such as poles, electromagnets, and how we use Earth's magnetic field to find our way.

Learn how work becomes easier by using a lever, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, screw, or wheel and axle.

None

Explores the physical properties of the solid and liquid states of matter and discusses the reversible and irreversible changes from one state to the other.
