temperature

Depicts familiar items that are hot and items that are cold to demonstrate the concept of temperature and the basic properties of matter.

Using materials they can find in their home, students can learn the science behind temperature and heat by performing experiments that demonstrate the conduction of heat in solids, thermal conductivity of liquids and gases, the relationship between temperature and color, and other scientific principles.

Simplified explanations and dynamic images of complex scientific concepts such as dark energy, dark matter, and the cosmic microwave background.

Through an engaging, easily accessible approach, the origins, dynamics, and ultimate fate of black holes are thoroughly unraveled.

This book will help students understand the observational evidence supporting the Big Bang theory and speculate on the ultimate fate of the universe it implies.

This captivating book takes readers all the way back to the Big Bang, down to the Earth's fiery hot core, and through our planet's early history on a quest for knowledge.
