About the course

Matter is everything around you! Matter is anything and everything in the universe that has volume and mass. Study the four states of matter — gas, liquid, solid, and plasma — and see how particles act differently at the molecular level with a tasty treat.

Let's get molecular with matter! Engage in experiments exploring the four states of matter, kinetic energy, and water cycles.
