Matter can be something we can see or touch, like a bicycle or a glass of juice, but it can also be invisible, like the air we breathe. With easy-to-follow text and simple definitions, this series introduces readers to the basics of matter: what it is, what it's made of, and what forms it takes. With clear explanations and real-life examples, each book examines a specific property of matter and how that property appears in a solid, liquid, and gas. Full-color photographs, fast facts, and a supplementary activities help to provide a fun first look at the essential properties of matter. Features include: Correlates directly with the expectation for students to know how to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties in grade 2, as specified in the Next Generation Science Standards. Fresh and engaging spread design in which full-color images enhance the texts. Activities introduce readers to the importance of experimentation in science. Fact boxes offer extra tidbits of interesting information.
