“You can't see air, but a balloon gets bigger when you fill it. Matter is made of particles too small to see.”

1. Open the lesson link on the board.
2. Press Next to the 🎬 Watch in 3D step and press ▶ Play. Students can drag to turn the model. This lesson has 2 3D videos in a row: press Next and ▶ Play for each part.
3. Press Next to the Movie step and press ▶ Play.

The video says:

• All matter is made of particles too small to see: packed, flowing, or spread out.
• Air fills a balloon: gas is matter, even though we can't see it.
• Dissolved sugar is still there; you can taste it.
• Heat makes particles move faster and can change the state.

3. Press Next to the Movie step and press ▶ Play.

The video says:

• Changing state keeps the mass the same: 100 g of ice makes 100 g of water.
• Mixing: the total mass is the sum: 50 g + 30 g = 80 g.
• Even in a reaction, a closed container keeps the same mass.
• The atoms only rearrange, so the mass stays the same.
