Description

When the world of science is viewed at its extremes it is easier to study and understand and it is also much more awesome!

In AWESOME MATTER AND MATERIALS find out about atoms and other microscopic building blocks, gasses, liquids and solids and some truly impressive extremes of temperature, hardness and weight. Uncover some of the most common and rarest materials in the world, and see how properties, such as elasticity and conductivity are important in all kinds of ways. Covering both human-made and natural materials with fascinating facts and brilliant graphics.

This series looks at extreme qualities and experiences, and how things have evolved and adapted to reach their extreme state and how we can identify scientific information from this.
