What this episode covers

Why does an ice cube melt… water boil… and steam disappear into thin air? This week’s Squiz Kids Science Short unpacks the states of matter — solids, liquids, gases… and the one you may not know, plasma. What are they really? What’s happening at the tiny particle level? And why does adding heat completely change how matter behaves? From frozen jumpers to glowing neon lights and the blazing Sun, we explore how energy makes particles move, spread out, or even lose tiny pieces called electrons. Solid. Liquid. Gas. Plasma. It’s not magic. It’s motion.
