In 1924, Bose and Einstein predicted a fifth state of matter. The prediction proved to be true in 1995 and is referred to as the Bose-Einstein condensation. This video discusses the concept of matter, all five states of matter, and what...

Introduce the basics of hydraulics with an informative video. It explains liquids, compression, force multipliers, and pressure. It concludes with examples of when hydraulics are used such as pistons, car brakes, landing gears, and car...

Amaze class members with the fact that solids, liquids, and gases all have the same particles. Kinetic theory explains how the particles loosen their bonds when given energy. Solids become liquids and liquids become solids. 

Find out how matter fits into more than one state with this entertaining video that details non-newtonian fluids and a step-by-step instruction for how to make oobleck. 

Get your blocks out! It's time to start building and learning about mass! Enthusiastic chemists get in-depth information about the conservation of mass and the way it applies to chemical changes. 

Your enthusiastic chemists will flip over this entertaining video about matter and its chemical changes! Take an in-depth look into what chemical changes are and the evidence that is observed, such as color, smell, and heat. Then,...

What is matter? Find out in this entertaining video that thoroughly details how matter has both volume and weight, but looks different as a liquid, solid, and gas.

Learn about the states of matter with an entertaining physical science video. With captioned explanations and real-world examples of changes states of matter, the video is an excellent addition to your lesson or homework assignment.

Here is the recipe for making ice cream in a couple of zip-top plastic bags. It is a fun way to demonstrate phase changes, especially when the weather is hot! Use this in your elementary science curriculum when introducing the states of...

Using sound waves, Steve Spangler demonstrates the properties of a non-Newtonian fluid. When the fluid is placed on an amplifier, it changes into the most amazing shapes. Your class will love demonstrating this process in class.

Steve Spangler has created a toy that relies on science to make ice cream! He uses a ball with two cylinders inserted. One contains rock salt and water, while the other contains the ice cream ingredients. Once sealed, a family kicks the...

Create a cauldron of bubbling fun with this Halloween-themed demonstration idea. Using dry ice, Steve Spangler creates a crystal ball. If you compare the sublimation of dry ice to the melting of water ice, it is a wonderful way to...

Make a strangely-moving "monster" out of cornstarch and water. The mixture produces a colloid with properties of both a liquid and a solid. Place the material over a stereo speaker, turn up the music, and watch it dance! This is a fun...

This is a strong visual display of density. It requires a mountain of materials and is quite messy, so you most likely will not want to have lab groups perform this activity. You could demonstrate it for your class when exploring the...

There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. As this clip describes, the key to changing the states of matter is the addition or subtraction of energy. Learn about molecules, heat, plasma, and the science behind...

This strawberry dropping into milk looks like a commercial for ice cream or yogurt! Show it to your physics class when you are talking about gravity and liquid, but perhaps you should have some strawberries on hand in case learners get...

Watch the cornstarch science experiments, and see how it stops behaving like a normal liquid when vibrated at a high speed. [2:45]

A crash course on London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonds, cohesion, adhesion, viscosity, capillary action, surface tension, and properties of liquids. [11:04]

Paul Andersen compares and contrasts the properties of solids and liquids. Solids have a more organized structure which can either be amorphous or crystalline. In liquids the intermolecular forces are lower and so the molecules can show...

This video segment adapted from ZOOM offers a clever demonstration of buoyancy by showing how to pour a cup of air into a cup filled with water. [1 mim, 42 sec]
