2. The Three States of Matter

3. State Objectives : –Matter: Properties/Identify/Small The learner will be able to identify that matter has predictable properties and is composed of particles too small to be seen with the naked eye. States of Matter: Conditions/Identify The learner will be able to identify states of matter.

4. GAS Has no fixed shape Has no fixed volume Made of particles that move rapidly The particles also have large spaces between them in comparison to solids and liquids

5. Examples of Gases are Steam Oxygen Carbon dioxide Smog Tear Gas Helium

6. LIQUID Has no fixed shape Has a fixed volume Particles move past one another easily Particles are fairly close, but not in a neat even arrangement as the particles in a solid are

7. Examples of Liquids are Orange Juice Water Soft drinks Milk Rubbing Alcohol Vinegar

8. SOLID Has a fixed shape Has a fixed volume Particles are arranged in a tight, regular pattern Particles move very little

9. Examples of Solids are Ice Frog Cheese Bricks Wood Popcicle
