States of matter

Discussion Doc  (Make a copy first, file in reading)
States of matter

Task
Work on this Doc together with a partner.


Give three examples of each state of matter?
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Diamond
Water
Air
Concrete
Honey
Oxygen
Sugar
Blood
Carbon Dioxide

What’s the difference between the three states of matter?
Solids
Liquids
Gases
The particles of the solids are compressed together to form a harder surface
The particle of the liquids are not as compressed together as a solid. There particles flow easily and don’t mind being separated.
Gases are similar to liquids. Their particles flow around in their air in separation. They cannot be held like a solid as there particles are not compressed together.

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you learned from this reading.
I have learnt the differences between all three of the states of matter. Also particles can also be called Atoms. When atoms are made smaller they are called Molecules. Also I have learnt the difference between mass and weight. Mass is the quality that gives weight its shape. Weight is the heaviness of the mass.
