DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: you receive a printable US Letter PDF to print at home or school. No physical book is shipped.

Puddles that vanish on a sunny sidewalk open this booklet's look at solids, liquids and gases, giving a teacher a complete unit with real-life examples already chosen. The text walks through melting and the exact opposite process, freezing, before asking where a puddle's water actually goes once it disappears. A section builds toward the water cycle itself, and the booklet closes by asking whether today's rain could ever have fallen on a dinosaur. Every section opens a free Brenda Hayles video lesson through its own link. Color photos of changing states pair with a water cycle diagram throughout, and the back page explains evaporation and condensation. NGSS codes 2-PS1-4, 5-ESS2-1 and 5-PS1-1 are covered.

Inside:

• Six sections, from solids and liquids to the water cycle
• A linked video lesson for every section
• Color photos of changing states beside a water cycle diagram
• A glossary covering evaporation and condensation
