Introduction SOLID LIQUID GAS

SOLID Particles are very close together Particles move around a fixed point Have a definite shape Have a definite volume There is weight that can be measured.

LIQUID Particles slide past each other Takes the shape of its container Has a definite volume Weight can be measured.

Gas Particles lose contact with one another Particles move very fast Has no definite shape Has no definite volume Weight can vary gas liquid and solid properties

Flash Cards/Games/Quiz and Vocabulary 1. The three basic properties of matter are volume, mass, and shape. 2. All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. 3. Volume is the amount of space that matter takes up. 4. Mass is the amount of matter an object has. 5. Liquids take the shape of their container. 6. Gases do not have a definite shape, mass, or volume. 7. Liquids do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume. 8. Solids have a definite shape and volume. 9. A chair and ice are examples of solids. 10. Milk and juice are examples of liquids. 11. Air and clouds are examples of gases. 12. Solid ice is melting when it is changing into a liquid.
