Year 4 - States of Matter

Books

Many kinds of matter : a look at solids, liquids, and gases

Examines the different states of matter, solids, liquids, and gases; describes their properties, and provides examples of materials that can change their state of matter.

States of matter

Young people intuitively understand that matter takes different forms - water, for example, can be liquid, solid ice, or gaseous steam. This book will give readers a deeper understanding of the different states of matter.

What is a gas?

This book offers simply explains the properties of gases and how they differ from solids.

Solids, liquids and gases

Matter, the stuff from which everything is made, can arrange itself in many ways. From a hard-edged diamond to the air around us, matter comes in very different states. Test states of matter and find out how arrangements you can't see give effects that you can.

Solids, liquids, and gases

13 hands-on activities encourage children aged five to nine to explore the three states of matter and their characteristics.

Change it! : solids, liquids, gases and you

Simple text, illustrations, and activities explore the nature of matter and how it changes from one state to another. 

Materials

A bright and lively introduction to the fascinating world of science where everyday scientific occurrences are explained.

Solids, liquids, gases

An introduction to the properties of matter, discussing solids, liquids, and gases.

What is a liquid?

How do we measure matter? What is a gas? What is a liquid? What is a solid? Readers will observe, describe, and compare the properties and behaviours of liquids.

× Solids, liquids, and gases

All materials can exist in different states, but what are the differences, and how do materials change from one state to another? This book explores solids, liquids, and gases, looking at their properties and the processes involved in changing state.

Solids, liquids, and gases

Simple text and photographs illustrate the properties of solids, liquids and gases.

What is a solid?

This book offers a simple explanation of matter, a description of solids, and examples of how solids can change into different states of matter.
