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… particle model • 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.
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.
