Everything in the universe consists of matter. So how can the differences between various types of matter be distinguished? Besides color, shape and size, there are more detailed properties that are used to define matter. Mass, weight, volume and density are all related to tell a great deal about an object or substance. Students will learn about these properties and how scientists use them to describe the world around us. Combining clear graphics, real-life demonstrations and a hands-on activity, these concepts are more clearly illustrated.

Changes in Properties of Matter
All matter possesses certain properties -- mass, weight, volume and density. But what happens to these properties when the matter changes form? How does wood become ash when it burns? And how does ice cream change when it melts? Students will learn the difference between chemical and physical changes in this excellent introduction to the changes of matter. Fun, real-life demonstrations and a hands-on activity will help explain these concepts. One of 16 volumes in the Physical Science in Action Video Series in the Schlessinger Science Library. Part of the Schlessinger Science Library in Action Collection.

Changes in States of Matter
What happens when heat is added or removed from a substance? How does water cycle around Earth? In Changes in States of Matter, lab footage demonstrates the concept of phase change and energy. Viewers travel underground and into the atmosphere to examine phase changes related to the water cycle. Part of the multivolume Science Clips for Students series.
