matter

Provides a scientific explanation of the various physical properties of metals.

Introduces the atom, elements, compounds, and mixtures and discusses related concepts including chemical reactions, chemical equations, and photosynthesis.

Explores the science concept of states of matter, how different states exist in everyday situations, and how this concept is used in technology.

Presents an introduction to the concepts of solutions and mixtures, in simple text with illustrations, explaining how they differ.

Discusses the nature and states of matter and examines both natural and synthetic materials such as forest products, rocks, minerals, and metals.

"Looking at some of the major inventions and discoveries shaping our world today, Breakthroughs in Science profiles the research leading up to the discovery (not just profiles of the one or two key "players"). Each book describes the "famous" moment and then examines the continued evolution illustrating its impact today and for the future"--.

Chronicles the years of study that led to the discovery of atoms and their relationship to the stars.

Hands-on activities to help students understand physical science.

Explains what physical properties are, discusses the difference between extensive and intensive physical properties, looks at some of the physical changes that occuron a regular basis, and examines chemical properties and changes.
