1. The document describes an experiment conducted by Albert Jade P. Legaria to observe and compare the physical states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. 2. The experiment involved observing how a crayon and mothballs changed when exposed to heat and time. The crayon partially melted in the sun while the mothballs shrank in a sealed bag over a week. 3. Tables are included that describe the differences in particle properties between solids, liquids, and gases in terms of arrangement, spacing, motion, volume, shape, diffusion, and expansion.

Experiment # 1

Physical States of Matter

Name:Albert Jade P. Legaria Grade & Section:Grade 12-St. Patrick Date: ________

Activity: What Happens?


Objectives:
1. Identify the states of matter.
2. Classify the different properties of matter.
3. Describe or make a representation of the arrangement, relative spacing, and relative
motion of the particles in each of the three states of matter.
What happens at the particle level of each of the following events? For each event, draw two particle
pictures of the object to represent how it looks at the start and at the end of the event described.
Write a short explanation.
1. A crayon left on the sidewalk on a very hot sunny day. Paste the actual pictures b & a.

START: END:

OBSERVATIONS:

At my first experiment, I used a joy crayon and place it under the sun for an hour,
but the result is there is a little bit melting happens on the crayon. After I used a joy
crayon, I used an oil pastel and put it outside to heat, after an hour, the half of pastel
melt. In my own observation it depends on the type of crayon, the first crayon I used is
made of a binder of paraffin wax and color pigment which is joy crayon. While the oil
pastel is made from a pigment mixed with a non-drying oil and wax binder. This means
oil pastels are easier to melt in the sun than crayons. Cheaper crayons are also much
harder than oil pastels to melt.
2. Place 1 piece of mothball in a resealable bag and seal the bag. Place the bag in a dry place for
1 week and observe. Paste a picture b & a.

START: END:

OBSERVATIONS:

Before I put the mothballs in the zip lock, I weighed the gram of each mothballs
and it had 0.6g and when I took it for 1 week and I weighed again, it had 0.4g. In my
observation, when I put the mothballs in the zip lock for how many days or weeks, the
mothballs get shrink a little. I think the reason for its shrinkage is its gas and mix it with
the surrounding air and it moisten it inside the zip lock.
