"It is time to learn about solids and liquids."--

"In this book, readers are taken through different experiments to understand the properties of liquids and solids"--

Why do anchors sink but corks float? Is it magic? No! It's physical science! By combining clear overviews with enlightening photography and diagrams, this volume will ensure that students understand the basic properties and variability of solid matter.

What is a solid? Find all of the hard and firm solids in the book. What objects hold their shape?

"For a kid, watching a solid turn into a liquid or a liquid into a gas is nothing short of magic. In Explore Solids and Liquids! With 25 Great Projects kids experience the wonder of different states of matter. They'll learn what matter is made of, how it can change, and how these interactions really work in our universe. With plenty of activities and projects, young readers gain a solid understanding of the matter they touch, see, feel, and experience...

Offers an overview of the scientific method and provides instructions for three experiments which teach about solids.

Why do we burp when we take a swig of a fizzy drink? What are air and water actually made of? And when a liquid raw egg becomes a solid fried egg, can this change of state ever be reversible? Packed with hands-on investigations, this book explores topics including, the properties of solids, liquids, and gases, how liquids become solids and how solids become liquids, how the water cycle works, why seawater is salty, and how changing states make recycling...

This book provides a basis for the design and analysis of welded components that are subjected to fluctuating forces, to avoid failure by fatigue. It is also a valuable resource for those on boards or commissions who are establishing fatigue design codes. For maximum benefit, readers should already have a working knowledge of the basics of fatigue and fracture mechanics. The purpose of designing a structure taking into consideration the limit state...

"Describes the properties of solids and liquids; what happens and how to separate them when they've been mixed together. As readers use scientific inquiry to learn about specific kinds of solids and liquids, an activity based on real world situations challenges them to apply what they've learned in order to solve a puzzle"--Provided by publisher.

"Can you hold it in your hand? Can you build with it? If so, it might be a solid. Things that are solid have a definite shape and size. Almost everything on Earth is one of three kinds of matter-- a liquid, a solid, or a gas" -- p. [4] of cover.
