The Three States of Matter
2
State Objectives

• Matter Properties/Identify/Small The learner
  will be able to identify that matter has
  predictable properties and is composed of
  particles to small too be seen with the naked
  eye.States of Matter Conditions/Identify The
  learner will be able to identify states of
  matter.

3
Following the presentation, the students will
write a paragraph about the three states of
matter (solid, liquid, and gas).
4
Gas

• Has no fixed shape
• Has no fixed volume
• Made of particles that move rapidly
• The particles also have large spaces between
  them in comparison to solids and liquids

5
Examples of Gases are

• Steam
• Oxygen
• Carbon dioxide
• Smog
• Tear Gas
• Helium

7
Liquid

• Has no fixed shape
• Has a fixed volume
• Particles move past one another easily
• Particles are fairly close, but not in a neat
  even arrangement as the particles in a solid are

8
Examples of Liquids are

• Orange Juice
• Water
• Soft drinks
• Milk
• Rubbing Alcohol
• Vinegar

Solid

• Has a fixed shape
• Has a fixed volume
• Particles are arranged in a tight, regular
  pattern
• Particles move very little

11
Examples of Solids are

• Ice
• Frog
• Cheese
• Bricks
• Wood
• Popcicle
