3. Solids Retains a fixed volume and a fixed shape Rigid-particles are locked into place Not easily compressible Little free space between particles Does not flow easily Particles are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern Solids vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place

4. Liquids Assumes the shape of the part of the container that it occupies Particles can move/slide past one another Not easily compressible Little free space between particles Flows easily Particles are close together with no regular arrangement Particles vibrate, move about and slide past each other

5. Gases Assumes the shape of the container Particles can move past one another Compressible Lots of space between particles Flows easily Particles are well separated with no regular arrangement Gas particles vibrate and move freely at high speeds

6. Create a Venn Diagram

7. Draw/Act Join with another group of 2 people and draw on the whiteboard or act out in your group the differences between solids, liquids and gases.
