1. The Three States of Matter

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

3. Following the presentation, the students will write a paragraph about the three states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas).

4. Gas Has no definite shape Has no definite 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 definite shape Has a definite 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 definite shape Has a definite volume
Particles are arranged in a tight, regular pattern
Particles move very little

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

10. States of Matter Particles

11. Writing Activity
The students will describe the three states of matter and include the following :
At least one example of each state
A description of each state
