Stuff! Materials and how they change

This colourful book would appeal to all young scientists, with explanations which are easy to understand, and well illustrated. Activities and experiments on each page are presented in steps with photographs, and use everyday materials. Inserts suggest other activities the reader might try, including fair tests. The reader is also provided with a glossary, index, a list of websites and explanations of expected outcomes of each of the experiments.
The title is part of an attractive series ‘The Real Scientist’ which also includes
Bang! Sounds and how we hear things
