Description: Educational video for children to learn about the states of matter: solid, liquid and gas, and about thses changes in the states of matter: fusion, vaporization, condensation and solidification. How are the particles arranged in each one of the three states? Do you know how we call the process during which matter is heated and changes state from solid to liquid? Find out about this fact and many more. This video belongs to a collection of Science videos for children to learn while having fun.
