Science Readers: Conservation of Mass

Conservation of Mass is an expository text that explores the concepts of matter, physical changes, chemical changes, systems, and the history of how Einstein, Democritus, Dalton, and Lavoisier contributed to this area of science. The book concludes with an experiment exploring what happens to matter during a chemical reaction. 

The book is divided in chapters and contains a table of contents, glossary, and index.  Sentences vary in length and structure.  Information is presented by the main text, sidebars, labeled photographs, and illustrations highlighting definitions and interesting facts.

Content-specific terminology such as law of conservation of matter, physical change, chemical change, and theory of special relativity is defined in context and in the glossary.
