Matter: Physical Science for Kids from the Picture Book Science
series gets kids excited about science! What's the matter?
Everything is matter! Everything you can touch and hold is made up
of matter-including you, your dog, and this book! Matter is stuff
that you can weigh and that takes up space, which means pretty much
everything in the world is made of matter. In Matter: Physical
Science for Kids, kids ages 5 to 8 explore the definition of matter
and the different states of matter, plus the stuff in our world
that isn't matter, such as sound and light! In this nonfiction
picture book, children are introduced to physical science through
detailed illustrations paired with a compelling narrative that uses
fun language to convey familiar examples of real-world science
connections. By recognizing the basic physics concept of matter and
identifying the different ways matter appears in real life, kids
develop a fundamental understanding of physical science and are
impressed with the idea that science is a constant part of our
lives and not limited to classrooms and laboratories. Simple
vocabulary, detailed illustrations, easy science experiments, and a
glossary all support exciting learning for kids ages 5 to 8.
Perfect for beginner readers or as a read aloud nonfiction picture
book! Part of a set of four books in a series called Picture Book
Science that tackles different kinds of physical science (waves,
forces, energy, and matter), Matter offers beautiful pictures and
simple observations and explanations. Quick STEM activities such as
weighing two balloons to test if air is matter help readers cross
the bridge from conceptual to experiential learning and provide a
foundation of knowledge that will prove invaluable as kids progress
in their science education. Perfect for children who love to ask,
"Why?" about the world around them, Matter satisfies curiosity
while encouraging continual student-led learning. Picture Book
Science presents real-world examples of physical science and
engineering topics kids find fascinating! These nonfiction picture
books consist of engaging narratives paired with brightly colored,
whimsical illustrations drawn by an accomplished scientist. With
these books, readers ages 5 to 8 are encouraged to expand their
definitions of the words "force," "matter," "energy," and "wave."
Elementary-aged children are equipped to recognize basic science
concepts and identify the different ways they are demonstrated in
real life, while being impressed with the idea that science is a
constant part of our lives and not limited to classrooms and
laboratories. Titles in the series include: Waves; Forces; Matter;
and Energy.
