This 7-minute video examines a substance that can change states without undergoing a change in temperature. The video features an MIT professor of chemistry working with a group of middle school students to examine a "mystery" material. When brought near a strong magnet, the material changes state from liquid to solid. Accompanying computer simulations help kids visualize what is happening to the substance at the particle level.
