Description
This series explores the core science concept of how materials can be altered by physical processes, such as heating, cooling, and mixing. Each book presents real-life examples to illustrate the effects of these transformations. 'Changing Shape' delves into the various methods by which materials can be manipulated, including stretching, squeezing, bending, and twisting. It explains why some materials are more malleable and why some can retain new shapes while others revert to their original form. The series includes helpful educational features such as contents, captions, a glossary, and an index, along with diagrams and photographs, making it a valuable introduction to key elements of non-fiction texts for children.
