Investigating Matter: Observable and Measurable Properties

Crash Course Kids

This educational video introduces students to the fundamental concepts of matter and its properties. Hosted by Sabrina Cruz from Crash Course Kids, the video uses a relatable analogy of playing with preschool blocks to explain complex scientific ideas. It defines "matter" as anything that has weight and takes up space, and "properties" as the characteristics used to describe that matter. The video distinguishes between qualitative properties (like color and shape) and quantitative properties (like length, width, height, volume, and weight) that can be measured using tools.
