Students will explore the physical and chemical properties of matter. Special attention is paid to the method by which matter is measured. Length, mass, weight and volume of common everyday matter is discussed. Other topics covered include the metric system, meter, kilogram, gram, liter, water displacement, and density.
Anything that takes up space or has mass is matter. Under certain conditions matter can be a solid, liquid, gas or plasma. Different states of matter can be combined in suspensions, and solutions and mixtures can be taken apart. Exploring the physical and chemical properties of matter provides insight into nature and a glimpse at how scientists and engineers use this knowledge to shape our world.
Matter is everywhere. Students learn how to describe, observe, and measure matter. Additional concepts and terminology include mass, weight, volume, density, hardness, texture, shape, flammability, size, and physical and chemical properties of matter.
Everything is made of millions of tiny particles. Animations illustrate how matter consists of different types of particles that are responsible for varying characteristics. Concepts and terminology include atom, element, chemical, and compound.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the phases of matter. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
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.
A teenage narrator presents general information about matter: its characteristics, qualities, properties, and states and changing states. Gives definitions and a review.
There is a mega mystery in Megabays. The kelp in Big Bay is washing ashore. What is causing the underwater kelp forest to collapse? Part of the "Cyberchase" series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the different states of matter. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
How can substances, such as water, exist in several dramatically different phases? Easy-to-understand examples illustrate how phase changes occur. Additional concepts and terminology include states of matter, particles, solid, liquid, gas, plasma, melting, freezing, vaporization, boiling, evaporation, condensation, and sublimation.
Students will trace the history of chemistry and study accounts of how chemistry developed from a practical discipline into a science. This episode also presents a current, real-life application of chemistry by illustrating the process of the refining and purifying pure silicon for advanced electronics, such as cell phones and solar cells. Part of the Chemistry: Challenges and Solutions Series.
Ever wonder where millions of retired vehicles end up? An old jalopy begins a fascinating journey towards a new incarnation of steel. Watch as a car gets crushed, shredded, melted, and transformed. Learn how its components change form with the addition of energy. Part of the "Break It Down" series.
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.
The state of matter is the form taken by matter at a given temperature and pressure. A phase of matter is uniform with respect to its physical and chemical properties. Matter undergoes phase transitions to change from one phase to another. Part of the "Chemistry" series.
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.
