Basic stuff

Stuff you learn at school. So this 5 minutes is a little basic. Everything is made of atoms. Atom exist at nano level 10 to the power of -9. Basically they are very small. And matter exists in three states all around us.

Science Information

this was really some good information about atomic science I really enjoyed the music in the background and the narrator she was wonderful she read it as though she was reading it to a child so I think any age could probably understand this it is a good refresher from me I will probably listen to it a few more times even though I know the information I sometimes forget things I don't use so I thank you very much I really enjoyed this

Good presentation on atoms for kids

Atoms are what makes up everything and it is one of the interesting things to learn about. This short audio book about atoms is a nice way to interest kids to learn Chemistry and/or Physics. :)

P.S. The narrator is shown as Todd MacDonald. However, the narrator sounds to me like Leah Vandenberg rather than Todd MacDonald. :)
