Do me a solid and explain how solids are made of chemicals. Go in depth with solids, including amorphous, crystalline, and crystalline atomic solids, with a video that breaks them down into bond types, and discusses many...

From hydrogen to ununoctium, this collection of videos has everything you need to begin teaching about the periodic table. Offering descriptions of each element and interesting experiments...

Your physical science class learns that there are three states of matter, and that adding or removing heat can cause it to change from one state to another. By the animations, printed information, and discussion between RJ and Zoe, they...

In a friendly, casual conversation on the beach, two animated teens discuss the periodic table. Assign this video to be viewed at home by physical science fans. After viewing, they can write definitions for key vocabulary terms and take...

Mix it up at a party as Sam and Zoe discuss heterogeneous and homogenous mixtures and solutions. Follow this film by allowing your class to put together individual snack foods to make their own mixture!

In this fascinating episode, Mr. Spangler uses cornstarch and water to create a solution known as "non-Newtonian" solution, meaning that the solution doesn't behave in the way that Newton's laws would expect it to. This is one of the...

A lot goes on during this visit to the Ellen DeGeneres show. During the first segment, Spangler demonstrates the ability of the human body to act as a conductor of electricity and he shows the clean burning properties of hydrogen and...

In this fascinating episode, Mr. Spangler uses cornstarch and water to create a solution known as "non-Newtonian" solution, meaning that the solution doesn't behave in the way that Newton's laws would expect it to. This is one of the...

A problem from a chemistry textbook is posed on the screen. In this problem, ethanol is used to illustrate the amount of energy, in joules, required to change a substance from a liquid to a gas. The boiling point of ethanol is given, and...

Sal continues his explanation of the states of matter by focusing on hydrogen bonds. This time, he uses plasma as the substance being studied, and explains how the hydrogen bonds change as the substance goes from solid to liquid to gas.

Take an energetic ride through the phase changes of a water molecule in a compact activity. Young scientists learn about the phases of matter and discover the role of thermal energy in governing phase changes while watching a short...

Explore the states of matter without the mess or expensive equipment in a compact, informative activity. Scientists watch as the narrator explains the three states of matter using a glass of ice and soda in an animated video that...

The world's lightest solid is over 99 percent air. An episode of the Veritasium series examines the structure of the aerogels and their physical and chemical properties. The video shows several demonstrations that show these properties...

The view depends upon location. A short video introduces the idea of views and elevations of 3-D figures. Using figures composed of cubes, the presenter creates their front, side, and plan views. The last figure requires the viewer to...

Combine the formulas to arrive at one volume. Using the formulas for different solids, the video introduces finding the volume of composite solids. The portion of an extensive playlist on geometry works a couple of problems, one with an...

Slice up solids. A portion of a geometry playlist introduces two conventional ways to visualize 3-D figures in 2-D. The resource defines cross-sections and nets and provides examples of both.

Blow up a solid by a scale factor. A section of a larger playlist on basic geometry introduces the ratios of the surface areas and volumes of similar solids. Using the ratios, the video works several examples involving similar figures.

Can you use a solid to study fluid dynamics? You bet! Science scholars examine the process of fluidization with a video from an extensive physics playlist. The narrator demonstrates and explains how the uniform movement of air causes...

Here is a video that is a double displacement delight! Show young scientists how to tackle the longest (and most interesting) chemical reactions to write with a video from JFR Science. The narrator shows examples of double displacement...

A glacier is like a river of ice. An interesting lesson explores how solid glaciers manage to flow. The video instructor explains how the pressure of the weight of the ice decreases the melting point, allowing the glacier to move.

Amorphous solid or slow-moving liquid? Learn about glass, pitch, and Earth's mantle through a video from the Veritasium playlist. The narrator describes the molecular structures of amorphous versus crystalline solids, shows examples of...

It's time we get to the heart of the matter! Explore standard PS1A in an informative video. The narrator guides viewers through the basic ideas of the structure and properties of matter. then discusses helpful strategies...

This is one phase you'll enjoy going through with your class! Young chemists discover the components of phase diagrams in a video lesson. The narrator discusses temperature and pressure, then shows how their interaction affects the state...

What makes water icy? Explore a range of theories from patrons at a public skating rink in an interview-style video. The narrator leads participatns through the phase change all the way to the molecular level, where less movement...
