This page will introduce or help refresh your knowledge of matter and method of chemistry along with the scientific method.
The videos to the right will explore matter and it's properties. An overview of the scientific method also appears below. Be sure to view all videos.
Chemistry is the study of matter. Matter can be anything that has mass and takes up space. In this video we learn the definition of matter, and define pure substance, element, compound, and homogeneous mixtures -- also known as solutions -- and heterogeneous mixtures. We also distinguish between chemical and physical changes.
States of Matter and their characteristics. Energy, volume, shape, arrangement of particles and interparticle attraction are discussed for solids, liquids and gases. Brief overview of plasmas and bose-einstein condensates.
