What is Matter? What is its Characteristics? This can be understood with the help of three forms of water – ice, water and water vapor. Matter around us exists mainly in three states – Magnetic Effects of Electric Current / All about Electro-magnetism.Human Eyes and Colorful World / Wonder of Light Part – I.Light – Reflection and Refraction / Wonder of Light Part-II.Force and Laws of Motion / The Laws of Motion.How do Organisms Reproduce? / The Life Cycle.Control and coordination / The Regulators of Life.LIFE PROCESSES / LIFE’s INTERNAL SECRETS.Improvement in Food Resources / Quality Food -Quality Life.Short videos like these are a great way for student to see what's involved in a project or activity before starting. The following videos are from the activities mentioned above. How Do Melting Polar Ice Caps Affect Sea Levels?: explore the change from solid to liquid in the context of polar ice caps.Why Soda Fizzes - Boyle's Law Demonstration: use air- and water-filled balloons to explore Boyle's law and the connection between gas volume and pressure.

Oobleck: A Recipe for a Mesmerizing Mixture: explore how a non-Newtonian fluid behaves as both solid and a liquid.

Measure Up with a Homemade Thermometer: make a simple thermometer and explore how temperature affects liquids and gases.

Measure the Pressure: build a barometer to measure atmospheric pressure and explore how temperature affects gases.

How to Harvest Water from Fog: set up a device to capture fog and explore the change from gas (water vapor) to liquid (water).

Homemade Slushies: explore changes from liquid to solid while mixing up a tasty treat.

Go With the Flow: use the task of pouring from a full container to explore the behavior of fluids.

Colorful Patterns in Melting Ice: colorful science activity helps students visualize and explore changes from solid to liquid.
