Powers of 10 Video

See how the powers of 10 take us from lakeside out to the universe and back into the cells on a man's hand!  Amazing!  :)

States of Matter

Watch this video one time all the way through.
Then, BEFORE you watch the video the second time make a table in your notebook, or use a WORD document which you can later post to your blog or print for your notebook.

This is what your table should have: 

7 columns across (State of Matter, volume, shape, mass, expansion, compressibility, 3 example)
4 rows down (the top row will have the above titles in it, gas, liquid, solid)

Then, watch the video again and you may need to pause it to be able to complete the table while the video is playing.  You do not need to have the sound on to get the information.  It is all displayed on the screen.  :)

Then, share your completed table with a friend to make sure that you have the correct information. :)  Precision is important.
