This video lesson introduces students to the concept of size. It looks at how to classify objects based on their size and how the size of an object affects its properties and behavior. In our world, we have many different sizes - starting from quarks and subatomic particles, to atoms and molecules, all the way to aggregates and huge objects like ourselves, and beyond to larger bodies like mountains, planets, stars, galaxies and even to the whole universe.
