Matter is all around us; it's what we and everything else are made of. Yet how do we define matter? What are the properties of matter that set it apart from something that is definitely not matter, such as light? In this session, participants build a working definition of matter, distinguish among the different forms it can take, investigate the difference between "essential" and "accidental" properties of matter, and look at the role of classification...

Text and illustrations present twelve hands-on science experiments that test the properties of matter.

Thoughts on many things in liquid form.

An introduction to concepts related to the topic of matter, including what it is, the three different types, how it can be changed, and more.

This book discusses how materials are used, and what changes occur during the solid, liquid, and gas states of matter.

"Two children go ice skating, fall through thin ice, and once they are safely home, they learn more about how matter changes state from solid to liquid to gas. Includes two hands-on experiments and further resources"--Provided by the publisher.

Explore physics in this early introduction to the states of matter, starring a goofy dog and his all-too-human family. Zippy art and clear explanations introduce the basic characteristics of four states of matter and how they change from one state to another. Totally up-to-date, this book for elementary school children includes plasma, now covered in all curricula. Straightforward text presents the facts and Raff's infographic illustrations demonstrate...

An introduction to the three types of matter that describes the properties of solids, liquids, and gases and includes a related activity.

Readers will observe, describe, and compare the properties and behaviors of liquids.

Explains the states of matter; the scientific method; and includes experiments testing your knowledge.
