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 . Review: This is fun and clever says a Mom...and your kid will like it too! - I really like this book. I have it digitally so I can always have it with me. The Art by Artist Shululu, is gorgeous. Appears to be watercolor, I think. It is written in a way that makes a person think. Author Andi Diehn gives good examples, and asks us good questions....though sometimes I wanted her to just tell me the answer....but then she went through a checklist to rule out if something was or wasn’t matter. I found myself acquiescing, and ruling things out like I was asked to do. Then I heard myself actually say out loud, “Well, no....it doesn’t have any of the required properties of Matter, so.....I guess light doesn’t have Matter...”. Turn the page, and the answer and my hypothesis is confirmed..... Light doesn’t contain Matter! .....Gee thanks Ms. Diehn....after I figured it out myself! You tricked me into learning and I LOVED it. There are activities for students,teachers, and homeschoolers included, and a great Matter vocab list at the end. I highly recommend this book! Personal note: I am using it and a few others to write a song about Matter. What is funny is I had a similar idea about “It Doesn’t Matter.” A play on words that fit beautifully into this book. Let’s see how it works for a silly song. I also love tricking kids into learning! 😆✌🏼🎶🎨📚 Review: Love this book for my third and first grader! - This was informative, but also very digestible for my third and first grader. I teach science at a homeschool co-op and read this to my first graders. They loved it and learned a lot! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #27,988 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #26 in Children's Physics Books (Books) #44 in Children's How Things Work Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 290 Reviews | ## Images ![Matter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91szoDHQ-uL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is fun and clever says a Mom...and your kid will like it too! *by A***C on February 18, 2020* I really like this book.
