Classifying Matter: Matter Is by Its States: Solid, Liquid and Gas. Properties

The document discusses classifying matter into three states: solids, liquids, and gases. It provides properties of each state, such as solids having a definite shape and volume while gases do not. It then presents a sample worksheet to help students understand the similarities and differences between the three states of matter by having them identify states of various items and answer questions about properties and changes between states when heated.

 Classifying Matter

Explain to the students that all objects around us are made of matter. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. One way of classifying matter is
by its states: Solid, liquid and gas.
On the board, write the properties of each state. This will clearly explain the lesson.
1. Solid

 It has mass
 It has a definite volume
 It has definite space

 It cannot be compressed
2. Liquid

 It has mass
 It has a definite volume
 It has no fixed/definite shape
 It cannot be compressed
3. Gas

 It has mass
 It has no definite volume
 It has no definite shape
