1. States of Matter

2. What is matter? Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter. Matter is made up of atoms. Matter can be living or non-living. Matter comes in different states with unique properties: Solid Liquid Gas

3. Properties of Solids 1.Solids don’t change shape easily. 2.Solid particles don’t move around much (they vibrate). 3.Solid particles are in a pattern or an aligned array.

4. Properties of Liquids 1.Liquids take the shape of their container. 2.Liquids have surface tension (particles hold on to each other) 3.Liquids move around.

5. Properties of Gases 1.Gas is invisible (particles are to far apart to see) 2.Gas particles move around freely.

6. Challenge Questions 1.Think about a can of soda. What state(s) of matter are in a can of soda? (give examples) 2.What about your body. What state(s) of matter are in your body? (give examples) 3.Think about a basketball. What state(s) of matter are in the basketball? Explain.
