States of Matter
Special | 28m 48sVideo has Closed Captions
If something has weight and takes up space, it has matter. Learn more on Science Trek.
Anything that takes up space and has weight is called matter. Matter can be as small as the tiniest cell in your skin or large as a whole galaxy. The study of matter and the changes it goes through is part of the science of physics and the science of chemistry. Find out more about states of matter on this month’s Science Trek with host Joan Cartan-Hansen and her guests.
