States of Matter

This document introduces the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. It defines matter as any substance that has mass and takes up space. The learning objectives are to understand the three states of matter, define matter, and compare and contrast the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. The document then discusses the key properties of each state - solids keep their shape, liquids flow, and gases spread out to fill their container.

Introduction to the States of Matter

1
Learning Objectives:
 to understand that matter can exist in three states

Success Criteria:
 to define matter
 to know the three states of matter
 to compare and contrast the three states of matter

2
What is matter?
 Matter is any substance that has mass
and takes up space (volume)
 Everything around us is made up of matter

3
What is matter?
 The three states of matter that you need to know
in KS3:

Solids, Liquids & Gases

4
Identifying Types of Matter:
Draw the following table in your books:
Solids Liquids Gases

What is (the) matter?

Now, in pairs you have two minutes to look around the


classroom and write down as many solids, liquids and
gases you can see!

5
Properties of types of matter:
What makes solids, liquids and gases different from each other ?

Can it be What does it look like?


What does it feel like? poured?

Can you squash


Does it flow? it?

In small groups you are going to describe the properties of the three states of matter: solids, liquids and gases.

6
Properties of Solids:
Solids
• Solids stay in one place and you can
hold them in your hand
• Solids keep their shape
• Solids always take up the same amount of
space (they don’t spread out like gases or
liquids)
• Solids can be cut and shaped

7
Properties of Liquids:
Liquids
• Liquids can flow or be poured easily.
They are not easy to hold
• Liquids change their shape depending
on the container they are in
• Even when liquids change their shape,
they will always take up the same
amount of space. Their volume stays
the same.

8
Properties Of Gases:
Gases:
• Gases are often invisible
• Gases do not keep their shape or
always take up the same amount of
space. They spread out and change
their shape and volume to fill up
whatever container they are in
• Gases can be squashed
