Why can we see through glass? Why does rubber stretch? How can the same material bounce and slowly flow?
A child picks something up and immediately wants to know what it is made of. Then comes another question about why it bends, breaks, sticks or stays warm. You recognise the object, but its behaviour can be surprisingly difficult to explain. Familiar things do not always come with familiar answers.
You don’t need to know every answer to help your child discover something wonderful.
Join Ayden and Aysha as they explore the materials children touch every day, discovering why glass, metal, wood, fabrics and plastics behave differently. With 60 illustrated lessons, each beginning with a question, Materials gives curious children aged 6 to 11 clear explanations and surprising Fun Facts about materials, strength, flexibility, insulation and sticky things, and gives parents somewhere to begin.
Read one question together. Follow the conversation wherever it leads. Younger children can enjoy listening and asking more questions; confident readers can explore for themselves.
With a lesson index and four vocabulary pages, it’s easy to return to a favourite discovery or find the words for a new one.
Book 7 of 25 in the Ayden and Aysha Discover the World collection, created by Monalisa.
Give the things around them a new story, one question at a time.
