What is Matter?

This series introduces young readers to matter. Colorful photos and simple text encourage children to read on their own as they learn that matter is everywhere and that solids, liquids, and gases are kinds of matter.

Each title in material takes a close look at an important material-what it is, where it comes from, whether it is natural or man-made, and what its properties are. The book also explains how we produce the material, how we use it, how we process it, and how it can be recycled.
