An ice cube. A drop of water. Invisible vapor. Explore how the same molecules make three very different worlds.
What really changes when an ice cube melts?
Everything is built from atoms, and one number decides which kind. Add protons one at a time and watch hydrogen become carbon, oxygen, and neon.
Explore the article ↗LifeEvery living thing is built from cells, tiny bags of chemistry with the same working parts. Cut one open and look at what each part does.
Explore the article ↗LifeA twisted ladder of four letters carries the instructions for every living thing. Change the mix, then unzip it and watch it copy itself.
Explore the article ↗Energy and forcesHeat one end of a bar and watch warmth creep along it, particle by particle. Then swap the metal for wood and see why it stops.
Explore the article ↗Energy and forcesA magnet reaches out through empty space. Bring two together and see the invisible field that pulls them close or pushes them apart.
Explore the article ↗Cross-cuttingFrom an atom to a galaxy in one slide. Each stop is a world of its own, and every one of them is built from the one before.
Explore the article ↗Energy and forcesSound is a squeeze that travels. Push the air at one end, and a pattern of crowding and spreading runs down the tube while the air itself stays put.
Explore the article ↗Space and EarthStars are born, burn for millions or trillions of years, and die in ways set on the day they form. Pick a starting mass and scrub through a whole life.
Explore the article ↗Space and EarthOne star, eight planets, and a lot of empty space. Run the clock and see why the inner planets race while the outer ones crawl.
