Slavin shows the process of how objects are changed from raw materials to the finished products. He uses common items that students are familiar with, such as baseballs. Each two-page spread describes how the object is made by breaking the process down into steps. Illustrations complement the text and show the technology behind the science. Slavin demonstrates the connection between science and technology in making objects. The book includes a table of contents, a glossary, suggestions for further research and an index.--Ministry of Education website. .
