Exploring Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This engaging science video introduces students to the fundamental properties of matter through the narrative lens of a scientist named Justin who is trying to build a rocket ship. By framing the scientific concepts as necessary knowledge for selecting the right construction materials, the video gives a practical context to abstract definitions. It covers the crucial distinction between physical properties—traits that can be observed without changing the substance—and chemical properties, which describe how a substance changes into something new.
