Liquid
Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape. The volume of a liquid can be measured and generally is expressed in units of liters. The shape of a liquid changes depending on the vessel containing it.
Gas
Gas is one of the three main states of matter. Gas is made up of atoms, tiny particles that make up molecules, and molecules that move faster and further away as compared to other states of matter, which enables gas to fill a container evenly.
Solid
A solid is anything that has weight or mass and takes up space. A solid has its own shape and volume, partials are packed close together, and vibrate in place. Liquid has volume but takes the same shape of its container.
Ways we can measure them.
We can measure matter by its volume or its mass. We can also measure it by its temperature or its density.
Density
Density is a measure of how heavy something is compared to its size.
Color
The color of something is the appearance that it has as a result of the way in which it reflects light.
Length
Length is a measure of how long an object is or the distance between two points.
Temperature
Temperature is the measure of the hotness and coldness of an object with reference to some standard value.
Mass
Mass is the amount of matter or substance that makes up an object.
Volume
Volume refers to the amount of space the object takes up.
Matter is all around us!
Liquids do not hold there shape at room temperature.
Matter is another word for the stuff things are made of.
Physical change
A type of change in which a new substance is NOT formed.
Chemical change
A type of change in which a new substance is formed.
