Make the following chart in your notebook and begin filling it in with examples of solids, liquids and gases. Solid Liquid Gas
THE THREE STATES OF MATTER
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. What is matter? Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Properties of Matter How It Looks (Shiny ,Dull, Color, etc.) How It Feels (Hard, Soft, Rough , Smooth, etc.) How It Smells (Sweet, Sharp, Terrible, No Smell, etc.) How It Sounds (Loud, Soft, Echo, No Sound, etc.) What It Does (Bounce, Stretch, Tear, Break, Magnetism etc.)
SOLIDS
SOLID Has definite volume and shape.
Liquids
LIQUID Has a definite volume, but not a definite shape. Takes on the shape, but not entire space of container.
GAS
Gas Has no definite shape or volume. Takes the shape and fills the entire space of container.
Physical changes in matter A Physical change is a change in how matter looks, but not the kind of matter is it is. No molecules are rearranged in a physical change. Tear Cut Folded Written Liquid Solid Gas Mixture Solution Break
PHYSICAL CHANGES
States of Matter A change in state of matter (solid, liquid or gas) is a physical change. Solid ice = H2O Liquid water = H2O Gas steam = H2O
Chemical changes in matter New Matter is formed. Atoms are rearranged to form a new substance. Burning Cooking Rusting Iron + water + oxygen = rust 4 Fe + 6H2O + 3O2 4Fe(OH)3
CHEMICAL CHANGES
Is this a solid, a liquid, or a gas Is this a solid, a liquid, or a gas? Can you find more than one type of matter in any of the pictures?
Is this a physical change or a chemical change Is this a physical change or a chemical change? Can you find more than one physical or chemical change in the pictures?
