Water commonly exists in three different forms: ice, liquid, and vapor. The different phases of water serve as the foundation to teach students about solids, liquids, and gases. Other common everyday examples of solids, liquids, and gases are also featured. Concepts and terminology discussed include: particles, volume, shape, and temperature.

What are the differences between solids, liquids, and gases? In this program, students will investigate real-life examples of the various phases of matter. Colorful animations illustrate how these states differ based on the movement of particles. Other topics covered include plasma, crystalline and amorphous solids, viscosity, freezing, vaporization, evaporation, and condensation.
Introduces the concept that everything is made of matter, and examines the three states of matter. Defines and examines a range of solids, liquids, and gases. Uses graphics to show the effects of heat on atoms and molecules in solids. Summarizes each segment.
A teenage narrator presents general information about matter: its characteristics, qualities, properties, and states and changing states. Gives definitions and a review.
Chemistry is the science of interacting particles and the various states of matter. Developing a better understanding of the atomic model through experiments with gases, scientists discovered the Ideal Gas Law, developed phase diagrams, and learned about the properties of supercritical fluids. Today's chemists are exploring new ways to control the interactions of atoms, with the goal of making better hydrogen-powered cars and new technologies for the long-term, underground storage of carbon dioxide to reduce greenhouse warming. Part of the series Chemistry: Challenges And Solutions.
This chapter provides a summary of the material discussed in the previous twelve chapters. Some of the topics reviewed include: the greenhouse effect, global warming, and climatic changes. This chapter also highlights the consequences associated with global warming from major cities to the rural country side. Viewers also explore ways to lessen the impact of global warming and how to adapt to the new climate conditions. Chapter 13 of Air: Climate Change Series.
The temperature of the Earth is dropping, and superhero Autumn Ray must find a safe way to heat the planet. At first she thought the answer was to increase the amount of greenhouse gases, but Dr. Mother Nature tells her there has to be a safe balance of gases to regulate the temperature of the Earth. Part of "The Science of Climate" series.
Pollution is waste material produced from human activities. It impacts the environment in a negative way. Explores how pollution can affect the air, water, and land in the form of gases, liquids, and solids. Substances that constitute pollution in the environment include: greenhouse gases (CO2, smog, and industrial emissions), oil, blue/green algae, plastic, litter, dog poop, and fertilizer. Also explores how a sustainable future depends upon individuals and society minimizing pollution by making informed and responsible decisions when choosing consumer items.
Matter is made up of tiny particles called molecules. Host, Max Orbit, helps students learn all about the different properties, qualities, and characteristics of matter. He also discusses solids, liquids, and gases. Part of the "Way Cool Science" series.
Often hard-to-understand concepts of air, gases, air pressure, and layers of the atmosphere are plainly explained in this video. Concepts and terminology: oxygen, nitrogen, layers, weather, jet stream, and northern lights.
In this segment, students learn all about different types of energy found on Earth. Solar energy comes from the sun, and geothermal energy is generated and stored in the earth. Students also discuss these forms of energy and how the energy of the earth transfers heat through the convection process. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
Can superhero Bruce Rain help reduce the effects of global warming? First he has to understand the relationship between greenhouse gases and the temperature of the Earth. Dr. Mother Nature also explains how the rising temperature of the Earth impacts various environmental and ecological systems. Part of "The Science of Climate" series.
Sherlock Olmos decides to dig deeper into dark corner of this great house to investigate the suspicious behavior of some chemical elements. The exchange of electrons and the characteristics of hydrogen, fluorine gas, and the noble gases are the primary subjects of his investigation. Part of Chemistry: Solved by Sherlock Olmos Series.
Many of our daily activities generate carbon dioxide and contribute to global warming and climatic changes. While carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are necessary for our survival, some research indicates that an increase in their levels may alter the climate. The increased presence of these gases can magnify the natural greenhouse effect of the atmosphere and damage the environment. However, there are steps individuals can take to decrease the impact of global warming and climate change. Chapter 1 of Air: Climate Change Series.
Solutions are uniform mixtures of molecules in which any of the phases of matter can be dissolved in another phase. Whether solids, liquids, or gases, solution chemistry is important because most chemical reactions, whether in the laboratory or in nature, take place in solutions. In particular, solutions with water as the solvent are the core of all biology. Extending the particle model of matter to solutions enables chemists to predict what will happen to a deep-sea diver who breathes different mixtures of gases or to the life forms in the ocean as carbon dioxide levels rise in the atmosphere. Part of Chemistry: Challenges and Solutions Series.
In this episode, Dr. Varoujan Gorjian discusses what happens when galaxies collide. Usually new stars form due to the impact of gases on one another. Part of the "Ask an Astronomer" series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on the conditions that create the greenhouse effect, and its impact on the environment. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
What is the difference between hydrosphere, lithosphere, and atmosphere? What gases make up the atmosphere? How many layers are in our atmosphere and what are their differences? After answering these and other questions, concludes with a quiz.
Scientific evidence may show that human activity, particularly over the past 100 years, has led to a buildup of what are known as "greenhouse gases," the most common of which is carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. Energy use, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and the large-scale removal of vegetation from the earth's surface, are thought to be largely responsible for greenhouse gas buildup.
