By Rebecca L. Johnson
Solids, Liquids, and Gases: Matter’s Amazing States guides students to an understanding of the different states of matter of things around them. Students learn that the motion of atoms determines a substance’s state of matter. Atoms with more energy move faster, and the increase in motion can change a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas. Students discover how these concepts relate to issues such as rising sea levels and global warming. At the end of each two-page spread, a brief statement called The Bottom Line reinforces students’ understanding by summing up the key ideas about solids, liquids, and gases covered in those pages.
