States of Matter
by Carol Baldwin
Review by Na'Dasia
What is matter? Matter is anything that takes up space. Matter is everywhere. it can be water, air, food, buildings, plants, animals, and people. Matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are too small to see. Atoms have mass. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. The mass of objects is measured in grams or kilograms.
Properties of solids: Heat travels through solids by a process called conduction. Some solids are good conductors of heat and electricity. Some solids are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Some solids float in water.
Properties of liquids: Heat makes liquids expand. When heat spreads through a liquid it is called convection.
I recommend this book because I like what I'm reading about. I think this book is great for the six and seventh graders who are learning about matter and mass. It can help with review.
Great review Na'Dasia, it was helpful to link this book to what students are learning! Mrs. Haas
