Materials (Check It Out) by Clint Twist

Our everyday lives are filled with exciting materials. In this introduction to physical science, young readers will explore common materials, such as wood, paper, stone, and more. Children will discover the source of materials, while exploring their common characteristics and uses. Accessible scientific language explains basic concepts, while a series of simple questions encourage children to find the young scientists in themselves. Vivid photographs, clear illustrations, and an easy-to-follow answer key enhance the informative text.
