3 States of Matter Solid, liquid, and gas

What is Matter? Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Can be classified as a solid, liquid, or gas Which category is each object in?

Science Notebook Solid Liquid Gas Let’s set up our science notebook! Title the page, 3 States of Matter Turn your notebook horizontally and make 3 columns Label the columns, solid, liquid, gas Under each column, you will take notes Solid Liquid Gas

Solids Made up of tiny particles called molecules Tightly packed together Have a definite shape and volume Molecules can move or vibrate, but stay in place

Solids What other solids can you think of? In your science notebook under the “solids” column, list 3 solids and draw a quick picture.

Liquids Have a definite volume Take the shape of their container Molecules are very close together, but can flow around each other

Liquids If you pour water from the first container into the second container, the amount of water stays the same, but the water will change its shape.

Liquids What other liquids can you think of? In your science notebook under the “liquids” column, list 3 liquids and draw a quick picture.

Gases Gas has very high energy The molecules move in all directions and are very far apart Take the shape of a closed container or spread out to fill the space they are in. Ex: air in the room fills up the classroom Do not have definite shape or volume

Gases What other gases can you think of? Think hard….this is a tricky one!! In your science notebook under the “gas” column, list 3 gases and draw a quick picture.

How do these 3 pictures differ?
