States of matter

States of Matter

By Daniel Naso

Matter

Almost everything in the world is made matter.

Matter exists in several states.

The states of matter are: Solid, Liquid, and Gas.

Solid

• Properties of a solid - keeps its shape, not easily compressed, does not take shape of a container.

Liquid

• A liquid can take the shape of the container it is placed in, but it is not easily compressed.

Gas

• Gases are easily compressed and will take the shape of any container. It does not keep its own shape, like a solid does.

Water

• Water is interesting because it can exist in all states of matter.

• Liquid: water

• Solid: ice

• Gas: water vapor

Ice

• When in the state of ice, water becomes a solid and keeps its own shape. It does not take the shape of its container.

Melted Ice

• Once ice melts into water in can take the shape of its container

Water Vapor

• If water continues to heat up it will start to evaporate and become water Vapor.

• It is now a gas and has the properties of a gas. Do you remember what the properties

of a gas were?

• P.PM.E.2 States of Matter- Matter exists in several different• states: solids, liquids and gases. Each state of matter has• unique physical properties. Gases are easily compressed but• liquids and solids do not compress easily. Solids have their

own• particular shapes, but liquids and gases take the shape of the• container.• P.PM.01.21 Demonstrate that water as a solid keeps its own shape• (ice).• P.PM.01.22 Demonstrate that water as a liquid takes on the shape

of• various containers.
