States of Matter
Targets... Today we will be: Developing our knowledge and understanding of solids, liquids and gases – I can give examples of solids, liquids and gases – I can describe the differences between solid, liquids and gases Developing our knowledge and understanding of particle arrangements – I can describe how particles are arranged in solids, liquids and gases
What are things made of?
Spot the similarity Spot the difference
Similarity: They are all made of the same particles. Hydrogen and oxygen (H₂O) = WATER. Difference: The water particles are in different states. Solid (ice) Liquid (water) Gas (steam)

How do you know whether something is a solid, liquid or gas? How would you explain to an alien: What a solid is? What a liquid is? What a gas is?
Shape Do solids, liquids and gases have a fixed shape?
Volume Do solids, liquids and gases have a fixed volume?
Volume: Can you squeeze it?
Flow Do solids, liquids and gases have a flow?
Solid, Liquid or Gas? Sort the substances into solids, liquids and gases. You should be able to explain why...
Solid, Liquid or Gas? Mix some cornflour with water.
