So first we will start by learning what matter is. Well matter is anything that has mass and volume. The components or states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
Good morning class! Today we will be learning all about the classification of matter!
Now I want Emily to explain to me what a solid is, Josh to explain to me what a liquid is, and Hayley to explain to me what a gas is.
A solid is something that keeps its shape. The particles in a solid can only vibrate and cannot move from their position. An example of a solid is a rock.
A liquid is something that has a definite volume, but is not a fixed shape. In a liquid the particles can move enough that they can slide past each other. An example a liquid is water
A gas is something that has no fixed shape or volume. An example of a gas is air. The particles in a gas can bounce freely and rapidly.
