Publisher's Synopsis
"A plate breaks, an ice cube melts, a room is painted. Each of these is an example of a physical change. In this easy-to-follow text, readers are introduced to physical changes in matter. Simple explanations cover forms of matter, properties, and changes. Real-life examples illustrate important concepts. Fast facts and Words to Know provide additional information. Full color images expand and support the text, while an activity reinforces ideas through experimentation. The book supports Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards, correlating directly with the NGSS Grade 2 standard to "classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties."--.
