You Are Correct! The Three States of Matter are: SOLID LIQUID GAS WATER ICE FOG Click the Arrow to Move On.

Let’s Begin By Learning The Basic Characteristics of Solids! Solids have three main properties: • Solids have a definite shape. • Solids have definite mass. • Solids have a definite volume. Click Here for Info on Mass and Volume. Click the Arrow to Move On. Flowers are an example of a Solid. A filing cabinet is an example of a Solid. An Apple is an example of a Solid.

Click on this button to Go Back to Solids. Solids Mass = the amount of matter (stuff) in an object. Click on this button to Go Back to Liquids. Liquids Click on this button to Go Back to Gases. Gases Volume = the amount of space in an object measured in cubic liters.

Here are some more facts about SOLIDS • Solids can be hard or soft. • All solids will keep their shape unless you do something to change them. • The shape of solids, like clay are easily changed. • Solids like wood are much harder and not easy to change the shape of. • Walls, blocks, and clothes are solids. Click the Arrow to Move On.

Which of these objects is not a solid? 1. 2. 3. Hint: A Solid will always look the same and take up the same amount of space.

You are correct ! A bottle of lemonade is not a solid, it is a liquid! Click the Arrow to Move On.

Click Here for Info on Mass and Volume. Click the Arrow to Move On. Let’s talk Liquids! Liquids also have three main properties: • Liquid does not have a definite shape. It takes the shape of the container it is in. • Liquid does have a definite mass. • Liquid does have a definite volume. The soda pop in this bottle is a Liquid. The Liquid soda pop inside is now in the shape of the bottle. The milk in this tanker truck is a Liquid. The Liquid milk inside is now in the shape of the giant tank.

Here are some more facts about LIQUIDS • Liquids have no shape. If you pour a glass of water it will take the shape of the glass, but if the water spills it will spread out. • Some liquids are thick (like a cold milkshake), and some are thin (like apple juice) • Liquids can be very different from each other, but they all can be poured. • Things like juice, water, and milk are liquids. Click the Arrow to Move On.

Which of these is not a liquid? 1. 2. 3. Hint: A Liquid will always take up the same amount of space, but because it does not have a definite shape, it takes the shape of its container.

You are correct! • Smoke is not a Liquid, it is actually a Gas. To Learn More about Gases Click on the Arrow.

Let’s gab about gas! Gas is our last State of Matter and it also has three main properties: • Gases do not have a definite shape. • Gases do not have a definite mass. • Gases do not have a definite volume. To Learn More about Gases Click on the Arrow. Click Here for Info on Mass and Volume.

Here is some more information about GASES • Gases have no shape either. • Air is a gas, and like air most gases are invisible. • You cannot see most gases, but you can feel them if you spin around fast. You can feel air move against you. When you feel wind against your face you are feeling a gas. • Air is all around you. • Gases spread out to fill any container they are in, even really big spaces. • Air and steam are gases. Click the Arrow to Move On.

Which of these is not a gas? Hint: A gas does not always take up the same amount of space, nor does it weigh the same all the time. Like liquids, gases take the shape of their containers. However, they will fill the space they are given. That is why they don't always take up the same amount of space!! Steam Water Vapor Trails Icy Water 1. 2. 3.

you are correct icy water is not a gas! • Icy Water contains both a Solid (Ice) and a Liquid (Water). You did great on that trick question! Click the Arrow to Move On.

That’s Right There are Three States of • Solid • Liquid • Gas Click the Arrow to Move On.

Review info for the States of matter The Three States of Matter are: • SOLID • LIQUID • GAS Click the Arrow to Return to the Quiz

You are correct! A solid always has a definite shape. Unlike liquids and gases it does not take the shape of its container. Click the Arrow to Move On. The Great Pyramids in Egypt are examples of Solids!

Review Info for Solids Liquids and Gases Liquids Liquid does not have a definite shape. It takes the shape of the container it is in. Liquid does have a definite mass. Liquid does have a definite volume. Liquids have no shape. If you pour a glass of water it will take the shape of the glass, but if the water spills it will spread out. Some liquids are thick (like a cold milkshake), and some are thin (like apple juice) Liquids can be very different from each other, but they all can be poured. Things like juice, water, and milk are liquids. Solids • Solids have a definite shape. • Solids have definite mass. • Solids have a definite volume. • Solids can be hard or soft. • All solids will keep their shape unless you do something to change them. • The shape of solids, like clay are easily changed. • Solids like wood are much harder and not easy to change the shape of. • Walls, blocks, and clothes are solids. Gases Gases do not have a definite shape. Gases do not have a definite mass. Gases do not have a definite volume. Air is a gas, and like air most gases are invisible. You cannot see most gases, but you can feel them if you spin around fast. You can feel air move against you. When you feel wind against your face you are feeling a gas. Air is all around you.

Sorry that is a true fact about solids! try again! Click the Arrow to Go Back and Try Again.

Correct! A solid has a shape all its own, it will not take the shape of its container! Well Done!!! Let’s move on to how the States of Matter can change. Click the Arrow to Move On.

Changes in the states of matter When matter changes its form, it is called changing its state. ICE HEAT WATER Changes in temperature are usually what causes matter to change its state. Click the Arrow to Move On. WATER HEAT STEAM

Here’s What Happens when you Cool matter! Water Cold Ice Another way to change matter is by cooling it down. Click the Arrow to Move On. Steam Cold Water

Here are threes examples of how matter can change states: 1. To turn water into a solid all you need to do is freeze it. 2. If an ice cube is left out of the freezer it will melt, turning back into a liquid. 3. You can see water vapor turn back into a liquid when you fill a dry glass with water and ice and let the glass sit. After a while you will see droplets of water gathering on the outside of the glass.
