Understanding Phases of Matter at a molecular level

Try this simulation game to understand how molecules behave in different phases of matter.

CHEMICAL REACTIONS WITH BILL NYE

Non-Newtonian Fluids: Is everything a solid, liquid, or gas?

Chemical Reaction: Making Slime!

The Science of Football: Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

Rocket Skateboard: Demonstrations of Newton's 3rd Law

What are Newton's 3 laws of motion?

This video goes WAY more in depth than you need to understand in 7th grade, however, it's a fantastic way to get an idea of what Newton's 3 laws of motion say and to get an idea of how we can use them to understand how to build things that move... like elevators!

Do other planets have magnetic fields like earth?

Some other planets have magnetic fields, and some don't!  The cause of magnetic fields on other planets is somewhat mysterious.  Our moon currently has no magnetic field, but permanently magnetized rocks have been found on the moon, leading scientists to believe that at one time, it did have a magnetic field.  Curious what other planets are magnets?  Check out a cool article that will tell you more by clicking on the button below!
