4. What do these 3 items have in common?
They all have mass and take up space (volume)
They are comprised of or contain solids, liquids, or gases
They are all made of matter which is made of atoms
Rock
Insect
Flower
Anything made of atoms (including rocks)...
...can be a solid or a liquid or a gas or plasma.
Is this true? Why or Why Not?
Note: It all depends on the temperature (heat/kinetic energy).

5. Solid Liquid Gas States of Matter
Also called the four phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas, & plasma)
They all consist of atoms.
They all have volume, mass, and density.
They all have heat energy.
They all have kinetic energy (motion).
Solid
Liquid
Gas
