YOU ARE CORRECT!The Three States of Matter are:

SOLID LIQUID

GAS

ICE WATER

FOG


LET’S BEGIN BY LEARNING THE BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SOLIDS!

Solids have three main properties:1. Solids have a definite shape.2. Solids have definite mass.3. Solids have a definite volume.

An Apple is an example of a Solid.

A filing cabinet is an example of a

Solid.

Flowers are an example of a

Solid.


Click Here for Info on Mass and Volume.

Mass = the amount of matter (stuff) in an object.

Volume = the amount of space in an object measured in cubic liters.

HERE ARE SOME MORE FACTS ABOUT SOLIDS

Solids can be hard or soft. All solids will keep their shape unless you do

something to change them. The shape of solids, like clay are easily

changed. Solids like wood are much harder and not

easy to change the shape of. Walls, blocks, and clothes are solids.


WHICH OF THESE OBJECTS IS NOT A SOLID?

Hint: A Solid will always look the same and take up the same amount of space.

YOU ARE CORRECT !

A bottle of lemonade is not a solid, it is a liquid!


LET’S TALK LIQUIDS!Liquids also have three main properties:1. Liquid does not have a definite shape. It

takes the shape of the container it is in.2. Liquid does have a definite mass.3. Liquid does have a definite volume.

The soda pop in this bottle is a Liquid. The Liquid

soda pop inside is now in the shape of the bottle.

The milk in this tanker truck is a Liquid. The Liquid milk inside is now in the shape of the giant tank.



HERE ARE SOME MORE FACTS ABOUT LIQUIDS

Liquids have no shape. If you pour a glass of water it will take the shape of the glass, but if the water spills it will spread out.

Some liquids are thick (like a cold milkshake), and some are thin (like apple juice)

Liquids can be very different from each other, but they all can be poured.

Things like juice, water, and milk are liquids.


WHICH OF THESE IS NOT A LIQUID?

Hint: A Liquid will always take up the same amount of space, but because it does not have a definite shape, it takes the shape of its container.

YOU ARE CORRECT! Smoke is not a Liquid, it is actually a Gas.

LET’S GAB ABOUT GAS!Gas is our last State of Matter and it also has

three main properties:1. Gases do not have a definite shape.2. Gases do not have a definite mass.3. Gases do not have a definite volume.


To Learn More about Gases Click

on the Arrow.

HERE IS SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT GASES

Gases have no shape either. Air is a gas, and like air most gases are

invisible. You cannot see most gases, but you can feel

them if you spin around fast. You can feel air move against you. When you feel wind against your face you are feeling a gas.

Air is all around you. Gases spread out to fill any container they

are in, even really big spaces. Air and steam are gases.


WHICH OF THESE IS NOT A GAS?

Hint: A gas does not always take up the same amount of space, nor does it weigh the same all the time. Like liquids, gases take the shape of their containers. However, they will fill the space they are given. That is why they don't always take up the same amount of space!!

YOU ARE CORRECT ICY WATER IS NOT A GAS!

Icy Water contains both a Solid (Ice) and a Liquid (Water). You did great on that trick question!

YOU ARE CORRECT! A SOLID ALWAYS HAS A

DEFINITE SHAPE. UNLIKE LIQUIDS AND GASES IT DOES NOT TAKE THE

SHAPE OF ITS CONTAINER.

The Great Pyramids in Egypt are examples of Solids!

Well Done!!! Let’s move on to how the States of Matter can change.


CHANGES IN THE STATES OF MATTERWhen matter changes its form, it is called

changing its state.

ICE HEAT WATERChanges in temperature are usually what

causes matter to change its state.

HEATWATER STEAM


HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COOL MATTER!

Cold

Water Ice

WaterCold

Steam

Another way to change matter is by cooling it down.Click the Arrow to Move On.

HERE ARE THREES EXAMPLES OF HOW MATTER CAN CHANGE STATES:

1. To turn water into a solid all you need to do is freeze it.

2. If an ice cube is left out of the freezer it will melt, turning back into a liquid.

3. You can see water vapor turn back into a liquid when you fill a dry glass with water and ice and let the glass sit. After a while you will see droplets of water gathering on the outside of the glass.

Give yourself a big pat on your back (which is a solid), and don’t cry (because tears are a

liquid), and make sure you don’t get angry and all steamed (which is a gas) up that this

lesson is over!
