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

This booklet opens by asking what different materials are actually good for, then narrows in on thermal conductors and insulators a Grade 5 class can test by hand. A section on mixing materials together leads to the heart of the unit: telling a reversible change apart from one that can never be undone, grounded in everyday kitchen chemistry. Students learn to separate mixtures back into their original parts before meeting genuinely irreversible change up close. Every section links to a free video lesson from Brenda Hayles. Color photos of materials being tested pair with separating technique diagrams throughout, and the glossary covers reversible and irreversible. NGSS codes 2-PS1-2, 4-PS3-2, 5-PS1-2 and 5-PS1-3 are covered.

Inside:

• Six sections, from material uses to irreversible change
• A linked video lesson for every section
• Color material photos beside separating technique diagrams
• A glossary covering reversible and irreversible
