"Everything is made of matter. In this book, readers will learn to recognize the three states of matter, how to measure matter, and the way temperature changes matter's forms. An introductory lesson on how matter travels in the water cycle invites readers to examine the broader impact of these essential elementary science concepts, and how they affect Earth's weather. Activities and questions are included to bring these concepts to life in a relatable and tangible way".

"What's the matter with the three little pigs? They're being tormented by a hungry wolf! And no matter what kind of matter they use to build their homes, it doesn't matter. The STEM-savvy, rhyme-loving wolf in this fractured fairy tale always seems to spoil the day. A glossary and critical thinking questions support the story's physics content"--Provided by publisher.

"If you've ever played with building blocks, you know a bit about how atoms work already. They're the building blocks of nature. In fact, everything in nature is made up of the super-small particles called atoms! This accessible book is an inviting look at the basic units of all matter. Young scientists will discover how atoms combine to form elements and how they're used to produce energy. Fascinating fact boxes and helpful diagrams take the mystery out of essential chemistry concepts."--.

With accessible language and breathtaking NASA images, students will explore the theory of gravity, from Newton's law of universal gravitation to Einstein's general relativity and beyond.
