    This document discusses the three states of matter - solids, liquids, and gases. It explains that matter is anything that takes up space and exists in these three states depending on how closely or loosely packed the molecules are. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids take the shape of their container but have a fixed volume, and gases fill their container and have no fixed shape or volume. Changes between these states, called phase changes, occur when heat is added to or removed from matter, causing the molecules to speed up or slow down.

    Matter

    Solids, Liquids, and Gases


    Matter
    • Matter is anything that takes up space.
    • Everything on earth is matter.
    • Matter exists in three states:
    • Solids

    • Liquids

    • Gases
    Solids
    • A solid does not change size or shape
    when it is moved.
    • You can measure the shape and the
    mass of a solid.
    • Examples: book, apple, shoes
    • Can you think of anymore?
    • How did we measure the volume?
    Liquids

    • Liquids do not have their own shape.


    • They take the shape of its container.
    • Examples: water, juice, syrup
    • How do liquids look and feel?
    Gases
    • Gas is matter that is all around you
    and fills many kinds of things.
    • For example, bubbles, balloons, and
    balls are filled with gas.
    • Air is also a gas.
    • Can you think of another example?
    The particle model
    The difference between solids, liquids and gases can be
    explained by the…

     All substances are made up of particles.

     The particles are attracted to each other. Some particles


    are attracted strongly to each other and others weakly.
     The particles move around. They are described as
    having kinetic energy.
     The kinetic energy of the particles increases with
    temperature.

    Molecules

    • Solids, Liquids, and Gases are made up


    of tiny particles called molecules.
    • As a class we can act as if we are the
    molecules that make up solids, liquids,
    and gases!
    • Everyone stand up and get ready to
    have some fun!
    Solids

    • Get as close as possible to one


    another, shoulder to shoulder.
    • The molecules in a solid are very close
    together and do not move very much.
    Liquids
    • To act as a liquid we still hold hands,
    but we spread out some and move
    together.
    • The molecules of a liquid are loosely
    tied together and flow freely.
    Gases

    • Everyone let go of your neighbor’s


    hands and spread out.
    • Walk around the room and slightly
    bump into one another, like bumper
    cars.
    • The molecules in a gas have a lot of
    space between them and move freely.
    Can you think of an object
    that can act as a solid, liquid,
    and a gas?
    Changes of State

    There are six changes of state possible for


    substances.
    Changes from one state to another.
    Description of Term for Phase Heat Movement During Phase
    Phase Change Change Change
    Heat goes into the solid as it
    Solid to liquid Melting
    melts.
    Heat leaves the liquid as it
    Liquid to solid Freezing
    freezes.
    Vaporization, which
    Heat goes into the liquid as it
    Liquid to gas includes boiling and
    vaporizes.
    evaporation
    Heat leaves the gas as it
    Gas to liquid Condensation
    condenses.
    Heat goes into the solid as it
    Solid to gas Sublimation
    sublimates.
    Here’s what happens when it changes
    from one state to another. It all depends
    on the energy!!!!!

    - The energy added causes the molecules to move faster,


    once they move fast enough they can change state.
