Stuff Matters: Exploring the Marvelous Materials That Shape Our Man-Made World

BORING ALLERT! This is NOT for kids who don’t like science. The book is filled with science; for example, the phrase “NASA use aerogel to catch particles of stardust flying through space at near-bullet speeds.” That’s a record, THREE words kids (probably) won’t understand. They’ll say something silly like “Star dust is real? And how can it fly?” or “Aerogel? I thought that was the comic character who saved Tosker from Goliath!” (These characters are fake.) Then why do I like this book and give it a rating of a whole 8.6? It’s all because I love “abstracty-wordy-sciency-complicated-books”.
