Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Phases of Matter

The three phases of matter get the Bill Nye treatment in this program. As usual, although some of the science concepts explored in the programs can be complex, Nye is in tune with what students are capable of understanding and uses humor to create a fun learning atmosphere. In this episode, he discusses the finer points of solids, liquids, and gases, using examples that kids can relate to. The idea of frying an ice cube is presented to help illustrate what matter is all about.
