States of Matter
By Oliver Smith
Matter is anything that takes up space in our universe; we are made of matter and always surrounded by it. All matter is made from tiny particles called atoms, which are organized in the periodic table. The following activities will introduce students to the properties of matter and how particles are arranged within each state.

- PROPERTIES: Solids can't flow. REASON FOR PROPERTIES: The particles can't move past each other.
-
-
-
- PROPERTIES: Solids can't be compressed. REASON FOR PROPERTIES: The particles are very close and can't move any closer.

- Liquid
-
-
- Particles can move around each other, but they are close together and arranged in a random way.

- Gas
- Particles are far apart and arranged in a random way. They move very quickly around and sometimes collide with each other.
- PROPERTIES: Gases can flow and completely fill their container. REASON FOR PROPERTIES: Particles move in every direction quickly.
- PROPERTIES: Gases can be compressed. REASON FOR PROPERTIES: Particles are far apart so they can move closer together.
