Books with title Man and Materials: Gas

As our knowledge of matter grows, so too do the number of materials. Metals saw early uses as swords, coins, and later, in the building of airplanes. The 20th century witnessed several new materials: plastic that is versatile enough to find use in everything from containers to automobiles, fibers that are strong enough to make bullet-proof vests, and early houses made of wood or stone that gave way to the towering skyscrapers we see today. Atoms and Materials is a book about matter at its most basic level - atoms and their components - but it also explores how people use material in technology and society. This intriguing title from the new Physics in Our World set enhances the reader's perception and understanding of the atomic world.

Not only does science matter, but there is also matter in science. This book introduces students to the concept of matter, both solid and liquid, as it exists in the world around them. As readers learn about volume and mass, matter's two key ingredients, they'll explore the world of atoms, electrons, and protons. Full of all of chemistry's key principles, this book encourages readers to observe the world on a microscopic level.

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Budding scientists and novices alike will learn about the properties of matter and materials as they experiment with a variety of household objects in this hands-on science activity book created especially for kids. Through these informative and easy to conduct experiments and activities, young learners will discover the interesting and often-changing characteristics of materials in their everyday world.

This title contains 40 tried and tested experiments, some classic with up-to-the-minute variations, and some entirely new. Scientific principles are shown in action as well as in photographs of their everyday applications. The experiments are all safe to do, use household materials, are manageable but absorbing, and offer rewarding results. Readers are told how long each experiment lasts, what materials are needed, and what the results mean. Eye-catching illustrations and engaging text make this a perfect book for the budding scientist!
