Presents a series of experiments exploring the properties of different kinds of matter.

Following the scientific process, this title provides instructions on how to conduct experiments that help students gain a better understanding of the states of matter.

If your child is struggling with science, then this book is for you; the short book covers the topic and also contains 5 science experiments to work with, and ten quiz questions. The book covers the following: The Power Behind Energy What’s Matter All About What’s In An Atom Energy’s Job Is To Make Matter Work Understand The Power Of Energy Putting It All Together Experiments In Matter And Energy This subject comes from the book “Fourth Grade Science (For Home School or Extra Practice)”; it more thoroughly covers more fifth grade topics to help your child get a better understanding of fifth grade math. If you purchased that book, or plan to purchase that book, do not purchase this, as the problems are the same.

With its many beautiful colour pictures, this book gives fascinating insights into the unusual forms and behaviour of matter under extremely high pressures and temperatures. These extreme states are generated, among other things, by strong shock, detonation and electric explosion waves, dense laser beams, electron and ion beams, hypersonic entry of spacecraft into dense atmospheres of planets and in many other situations characterized by extremely high pressures and temperatures. Written by one of the world's foremost experts on the topic, this book will inform and fascinate all scientists dealing with materials properties and physics and also serve as an excellent introduction to plasma-, shock-wave and high-energy-density physics for students and newcomers seeking an overview. This second edition is thoroughly revised and expanded, in particular with new material on high energy-density physics, nuclear explosions and other nuclear transformation processes.

Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics, this uniquely comprehensive overview provides a rigorous, integrated treatment of physical principles and techniques related to gases, liquids, solids, and their phase transitions. 1975 edition.

The study of the states of matter is one that we take for granted every day, when we cook, when we breathe, when we use technology. This volume explores the basics of states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. It delves into the history of some of the great minds that have contributed to the modern understanding of matter and how it is being used today in our daily lives. A biographical chapter and timeline is included to help round out the text and capture the human side of science.

Do the properties of metal change when heated? Why do some objects float in water while others sink? Can you measure the density of a gas? Using easy-to-find materials and the scientific method, readers can learn the answers to these questions and more. If readers are interested in competing in science fairs, this book contains great suggestions and ideas for further experiments.

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 educates with real-world examples, fun facts, and engaging images.

Presents new, tested experiments related to the intriguing field of physical science. The experiments are designed to promote interest in science in and out of the classroom, and to improve critical-thinking skills.

Activities for students help them explore states of matter.
