Mrs. Norris will be happy to show you how to access these e-books and use them with your promethean board.

> Be a word detective -- What is heat? -- What makes heat? -- Changing from hot to cold -- Heat makes matter get bigger -- How heat moves -- Heat changes matter -- A note to adultson sharing a book -- Learn more about heat -- Glossary. Presents a children's book for early readers that introduces vocabulary words about what makes heat, how heat moves, and how heat changes matter. > Ice to steam -- Water and the weather -- Solids, liquids, and gases at home -- Evaporation -- Extreme changes of state -- Volcanoes and lava -- Particle theory -- Ice: a special solid?. Photographs, diagrams, and illustrations describe the three different states of water. > Hands-on experiences and easy-to-follow explanations introduce students to different forms of matter and the role it plays in the world around them. > What is matter? -- All about elements -- Properties -- Ions -- Compounds -- Mixtures -- Same or different? -- Alloys -- Colloids -- Solutions -- Getting the solution -- More solutions -- Separating solutions. Introduces students to mixtures and solutions, discussing matter, elements, properties, ions, compounds, alloys, colloids, and other related topics. > The stuff around you -- Measuring matter -- What are solids? -- What are liquids? -- Gases and plasma -- Solids to liquids -- Liquids to gases -- Under pressure -- Spotlight on water -- Spotlight on air -- Elasticity -- More properties -- In the universe. Introduces children to the various states of matter, explaining the properties of solids, liquids, and gases, how they are measured, and what role they play in everyday life. > An introduction to the states of matter, focusing on gas, explaining what it is and how it behaves, and looking at the oxygen cycle.
