Mixing and Separating
by Chris Oxlade

Review by Katimala

Materials are all around you, such as wood, metals, and plastic.  Some materials are natural like wood, clay, and water.  Humans make some materials such as plastic and glass.  

A lot of materials can change shape.  We can heat and cool it down.  When we mix materials we make new materials.  A mixture is made up of two or more materials.  Ice is a solid, water is a liquid and steam is a gas.

We use materials when we paint.  We mix different colors to make new colors.  We also use a lot of materials in the kitchen.  Those materials are called ingredients.  Most materials dissolve.

I recommend this book because it's very good.  You can learn a lot about different materials and how they change.  I recommend this book for people that love science.  Anyone that really likes science should read this book.

  1. Katimala, you reminded me that baking is really just science. I love to mix all the ingredients and get cookie dough. And then I love to eat it right from the bowl! Mrs. Haas
