What Is Matter? - The Dr. Binocs Show | Best Learning Videos For Kids | Peekaboo Kidz

[Music] oh i'm sorry little kitty it's okay doesn't matter well it does matter kitty in fact everything around us is matter yes my friends i'm sure you must have heard the term matter before and how everything that we come across in our lives like the air you inhale the books you read toys you play with i mean literally everything is made of matter still confused don't worry my friends in today's episode let us explore what is matter and its state and find the answer to an important question why matter matters so much zoom in so

what is matter well as we all know that matter is everything around you rocks ben water even you are made of matter but the vital question is how do you define matter well according to science matter is defined as everything that has weight and takes up space or has volume i'm sure you are already aware of what weight is is just how heavy something is but what do we mean by taking up space or volume volume is the amount of space something occupies for example the ball takes up a small volume while the sun occupies

a large volume or takes larger space to fit in likewise different states of matter will fill volumes in different ways depending upon how big little long or short the object is but why why do they vary in looks and sizes well that's because mata comes in different states and the three most common states are known as solid liquid and gas let's start with the most obvious state of matter that is the solid state there are objects that keep their own shape and do not flow in a given temperature examples of solids are study table sugar

cubes glass rock most metals etc ice is a solid as well but when it melts it becomes liquid speaking of liquids they flow move around a little and fill up containers you put them in like a water bottle so we can say they occupy the space inside the containers we fill them in but what about the weight of water well we all know that water has weight if you carry a water bottle with you and as you drink from the bottle it gets lighter and lighter giving you a good idea about the weight of the

water next comes an interesting state of matter that can't be seen easily but it's there all the time like the air we inhale which is a gas the third main state of matter but i know you must be wondering is air really matter and if it is then how we see if it takes up space and has weight well we can prove that with a simple experiment at your home to do so take an empty glass and lower it vertically downward in a vessel filled with water you will observe that the level of water inside

the glass is less than the level of water outside it it is because the air within the glass is trapped and does not allow the water to rise up it means air has occupied the space inside the glass now when you tilt the glass aside you will see bubbles of air rushing out and it is replaced by water hence proving that air occupies space but how do we show that air has weight take two empty balloons and tape them to the ends of a meter stick then hang the meter stick on a string so that

it's perfectly balanced now blow up one of the balloons and stick it back to the meter stick you will find the end of the air filled balloon will bend downwards because of air giving it the extra weight hence proving the fact that air is matter as it has volume and weight it's trivia time did you know that there are more than three states of matter yes besides the solid liquid and gaseous there are also three further different states of matter that have been created by man these are plasma feminic condensates and both einstein condensates it's
