The Nature of Matter
by Christine Caputo
Review by Katimala
We are surrounded by matter. Everywhere we go, matter is there. The objects we touch, the food we eat, the air we breathe is matter. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Volume is how much space something takes up.
The lightest known solids are called aerogels. Paraffin is an amorphous solid, which can change its' shape. Every molecule of methane has one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. The whole world is made up of atoms and matter.
I do recommend this book for 7th grade and under. They should learn about this when they're younger so when they get older they would already know this stuff.
This sounds like a cool book, Katimala. I remember learning this kind of stuff in elementary school, I just can't remember what grade I was in!
