Give an example of a gas
air, carbon dioxide, oxygen, helium
What shape is a gas?
it doesn't have a shape; it floats around freely or takes on the shape of its container (like a balloon)

How would you describe the particles in a solid, liquid, and gas.
Solid-organized in rows and columns, close together
liquids-close together but not in rows, more spread out
gas-spaced far apart
Based on the observations, what state of matter is Mystery Matter #3 in?
Observations:
-no shape; takes on the shape of its container
-the atoms are very spread out and bounce off things
gas
Name something that sinks.
spoon, salt, penny, etc.
How does a solid stay the same when you cut it? How does it change?
A solid is a different size or shape after you cut it, but it is still made of the same thing.
