Metal

Soft, warm, heavy, slimy...which of these words describe metal or plastic, rubber or wood? This series covers them all -- with big colorful photographs, "Fascinating Facts, " and easy "Try This" experiments that introduce simple science concepts in a fun and engaging way, and show how each material is produced, transformed for everyday use, and impacts the environment. That paper plate in the lunchroom will never seem the same again once readers really get to know their Material World!Llewellyn, Claire is the author of 'Metal ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781932889529 and ISBN 1932889523.
