What Is Matter?
This is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is matter?
These are tiny pieces that make up all matter.
What are particles?
This state of matter has a fixed shape and fixed volume.
What is a solid?
This state has a fixed volume but no fixed shape.
What is a liquid?
This state has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.
What is a gas?
Give two examples of matter found in everyday life.
What are things like water, air, desks, or people?
Name one rule from the particle theory of matter.
What are “particles are always moving,” “there is space between particles,” etc.?
Are solids easy or hard to squish?
What is hard to squish?
What happens to a liquid’s shape when poured into a container?
What is it takes the shape of the container?
Why are gases easy to squish?
What is because particles are far apart?

Name one example of a gas at room temperature.
What is oxygen, nitrogen, helium?
What two properties are used to define matter?
What are mass and volume?
True or False: Particles in solids do not move at all.
What is false?
Give one example of a solid at room temperature.
What is rock, chair, desk, etc.
What happens to particle movement when a liquid is heated?
What is particles move faster?
What happens to gas particles when heated?
What is they move faster and spread out?
Explain why the sun is considered matter.
What has mass and takes up space?
Explain how particles behave differently in solids vs gases.
Solids vibrate in place; gases move freely and spread out
Why don’t solids flow like liquids?
Because particles are tightly packed with strong attraction
Explain why liquids can flow but solids cannot.
Liquid particles have weaker attraction and more space
How can a gas change back into a liquid?
What is by cooling?
