About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child starts asking the big 'what if' and 'how does it work' questions about the world, such as 'What is everything made of?'. 'Matter Is Everything' is a perfect first step into the world of chemistry and physics, breaking down the concept of matter into its three main states: solid, liquid, and gas. The book nurtures a child's innate sense of curiosity and wonder, using clear language and relatable examples to explain complex ideas. Ideal for ages 6 to 10, it transforms an abstract scientific principle into something tangible and exciting, building a strong foundation for future STEM learning and encouraging children to see the science that is all around them, in everything they touch, see, and breathe.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book's approach is entirely secular and scientific.
Ideal Reader
A curious 7-year-old who is constantly asking 'why?' about the physical world. This book is perfect for the child who loves hands-on activities, enjoys understanding how things work, and is fascinated by simple kitchen science experiments like making popsicles or watching water boil.
Parent Prep
No specific preparation is needed; the book is designed for a cold read. However, a parent could enhance the experience by having simple materials on hand, like a glass of water, an ice cube, and a balloon, to provide a hands-on demonstration of the concepts as they are introduced. A parent hears their child ask a question like, 'What's inside my chair?' or 'Why does my ice cream melt?' The parent is looking for a book that provides a scientifically accurate but simple and engaging answer to these foundational questions.
