Solids have a definite volume. An Apple is an example of a Solid. A filing cabinet is an example of a Solid. Flowers are an example of a Solid. Click the Arrow to Move On. Click Here for Info on Mass and Volume.

7. Mass = the amount of matter (stuff) in an object. Volume = the amount of space in an object measured in cubic liters. Click on this button to Go Back to Solids. Solids Liquids Gases Click on this button to Go Back to Liquids. Click on this button to Go Back to Gases.

8. H ERE ARE SOME MORE FACTS ABOUT SOLIDS Solids can be hard or soft. All solids will keep their shape unless you do something to change them. The shape of solids, like clay are easily changed. Solids like wood are much harder and not easy to change the shape of. Walls, blocks, and clothes are solids. Click the Arrow to Move On.

11. Y OU ARE CORRECT ! A bottle of lemonade is not a solid, it is a liquid! Click the Arrow to Move On.

12. L ET ’ S TALK L IQUIDS ! Liquids also have three main properties: 1. Liquid does not have a definite shape. It takes the shape of the container it is in. 2. Liquid does have a definite mass. 3. Liquid does have a definite volume. The soda pop in this bottle is a Liquid. The Liquid soda pop inside is now in the shape of the bottle. The milk in this tanker truck is a Liquid. The Liquid milk inside is now in the shape of the giant tank. Click the Arrow to Move On. Click Here for Info on Mass and Volume.

13. H ERE ARE SOME MORE FACTS ABOUT LIQUIDS Liquids have no shape. If you pour a glass of water it will take the shape of the glass, but if the water spills it will spread out. Some liquids are thick (like a cold milkshake), and some are thin (like apple juice) Liquids can be very different from each other, but they all can be poured. Things like juice, water, and milk are liquids. Click the Arrow to Move On.

14. W HICH OF THESE IS NOT A LIQUID ? Hint: A Liquid will always take up the same amount of space, but because it does not have a definite shape, it takes the shape of its container. 1.2.3.

17. L ET ’ S GAB ABOUT GAS ! Gas is our last State of Matter and it also has three main properties: 1. Gases do not have a definite shape. 2. Gases do not have a definite mass. 3. Gases do not have a definite volume. Click Here for Info on Mass and Volume. To Learn More about Gases Click on the Arrow.

18. H ERE IS SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT GASES Gases have no shape either. Air is a gas, and like air most gases are invisible. You cannot see most gases, but you can feel them if you spin around fast. You can feel air move against you. When you feel wind against your face you are feeling a gas. Air is all around you. Gases spread out to fill any container they are in, even really big spaces. Air and steam are gases. Click the Arrow to Move On.

19. W HICH OF THESE IS NOT A GAS ? Hint: A gas does not always take up the same amount of space, nor does it weigh the same all the time. Like liquids, gases take the shape of their containers. However, they will fill the space they are given. That is why they don't always take up the same amount of space!! 1.3.2. SteamWater Vapor Trails Icy Water

45. H ERE ARE THREES EXAMPLES OF HOW MATTER CAN CHANGE STATES : 1. To turn water into a solid all you need to do is freeze it. 2. If an ice cube is left out of the freezer it will melt, turning back into a liquid. 3. You can see water vapor turn back into a liquid when you fill a dry glass with water and ice and let the glass sit. After a while you will see droplets of water gathering on the outside of the glass.
