2- Fill out your Agenda.

3. Science Starter:States of Matter- One of four forms, Solid,

Liquid, gas or plasma-in which matter exists.

Liquid- A state of matter that has no definite shape but has a definite volume.

Matter:

It’s what the world is made of.

What is matter? Matter is anything that has mass

and takes up space.

What do you know about matter?

Solids Liquid

s

GasesPlasma

Solids Solids have definite

shape and definite volume.

Solids have mass. Solids take up space. Objects don’t pass

through easily.

Read more!

Particles in Solids: Are packed tightly

together

Have very little energy

Vibrate in place

Liquids

Liquids take the shape of their container and have definite volume.

Liquids have mass. Liquids take up space. Liquids have surface

tension.

Read more!

Particles in Liquids: Are loosely

packed

Have medium energy levels

Particles flow around each other

Gases

Gases spread out to fill the entire space given and do not have definite volume.

Gases have mass. Gases take up

space.

Read more!

Particles in Gases:

Move freely

Have LOTS of energy

Plasma

Lightning is a plasma. Used in fluorescent light

bulbs and Neon lights. Plasma is a lot like a

gas, but the particles are electrically charged.

Plasma can flow like a liquid.

Particles in Plasma: Are electrically

charged

Have EXTREMELY high energy levels

STATES of matter?

What would it take for matter to move from one state to another?

Energy determines the state!

Add or Subtract Energy. . .

When energy is added, particles move faster!

When energy is taken away, particles move slower!

What will happen? Why?

Solid + Energy = ?

When energy is added to solids, they become liquids!

Examples?

Liquid + Energy = ? When energy is

added to liquids, they become gases!

What examples can you think of?

Changing States There are several names for matter changing states:

State change

Phase change

Physical change

So, did we get something new?

Ice cream and melted ice cream? Chocolate and melted chocolate? Ice, water, and water vapor? Steel and molten steel?

Review Questions

1. What state of matter has definite volume and definite shape?

2. Describe the properties of liquids.3. Describe the differences between

gases and plasma.4. What is needed for states of

matter to change phase?
