Simulate Molecules with Beads! - A Fun Activity

Do you know why materials around can be
solid, like wood
liquid, like water
and gas, like air ?

Most materials can change from one state to another when heated or cooled.

Some materials, like wood, decompose before melting. So you cannot get a liquid wood, it will simply burn from heating.

But why there are solid, liquid, and gas states of matter?

Let's try a fun experiment!

Then try to recreate it using beads and a box.

You may cover the box with plastic film, if you are afraid to spill the beads around the room.
