Exploring the States of Matter

The video explains that most of Earth's surface is water, but only 1% is drinkable. It introduces the concept of states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Matter is anything that takes up space and has weight. Solids have a fixed shape, liquids take the shape of their container, and gases fill their container. The video uses examples like basketballs, water, and maple syrup to illustrate these states. Water is unique as it can exist in all three states. The video concludes by summarizing the properties of each state of matter.
