The Three States of Matter


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.

Slide 3

Gas
Has no fixed shape
Has no fixed volume
Made of particles that move rapidly
The particles also have large spaces  between them in comparison to solids and liquids

Examples of Gases are
Steam
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Smog
Tear Gas
Helium

Slide 6

Liquid
Has no fixed shape
Has a fixed 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

Examples of Liquids are
Orange Juice
Water
Soft drinks
Milk
Rubbing Alcohol
Vinegar

Slide 9

Solid
Has a fixed shape
Has a fixed volume
Particles are arranged in a tight, regular pattern
Particles move very little

Examples of Solids are
Ice
Frog
Cheese
Bricks
Wood
Popcicle
