How Particles Make Up All Matter and Change States

Crash Course Kids

This engaging science video introduces students to the fundamental concept that all matter is made of tiny building blocks called particles. Hosted by Sabrina Cruz, the video uses clear analogies and animation to explain that while we see large objects like people, devices, or dogs, they are actually composed of microscopic particles that determine how the object looks and behaves. The video breaks down the three primary states of matter—solids, liquids, and gases—by visualizing how the arrangement and movement of particles differ in each state.
