"Matter is anything that takes up space-including you! Everything that takes up space has different properties, like weight, length, color, and odor. Sneakers have different properties than peanut butter. The state of the matter will also change its properties-water has different properties when it is a liquid than it does as a solid. In this book, readers explore the properties of matter-and how they interact with each of them every day maybe without...

"Why does matter even matter? Matter takes up space and can be broken down into of one of three main states-solids, liquids, or gases. Readers learn how to determine which state of matter an object is in, how that state can change, and how these different forces work together to help us in our daily lives. For example, water can be turned into ice to cool our drinks and air can be pumped into tires so we can ride a bike! This book entertains and educate...
