What is matter lab

Matter is all around us- we will make observations about three types of matter - solids, liquids, and gases

state of matter- Solids:

A solid is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to a force applied to the surface. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire available volume like a gas.

Pick a something that is solid in the room that you are

Multiple Select

Check all that apply about your solid object

Can a solid object pass through it easily?

Does it take up space?

Does it feel wet?

Can you pour it?

Does it flow?

Multiple Select

Check all that apply for your solid

Could it sit by itself?

Does it have a shape of its own?

Can you see it?

Could you feel it?

Does it have mass?

State of matter: liquid

Liquids have definite volume, but indefinite shape. They are free to form droplets and puddles when they are not inside a container. When a liquid is inside a container, it will take its shape. Unlike gases, a liquid will not change its volume to spread out and completely fill a container.

Pick something that is liquid the room that you are in

Multiple Select

Think of something that is LIQUID-

Could it sit by itself?

Does it have a shape of its own?

Can you see it?

Could you feel it?

Does it have mass?

Multiple Select

Check all that apply for your liquid object:

Can you pour it?

Does it feel wet?

Does it take up space?

Can a solid object pass through it easily?

Does it flow?

State of matter: gas

they expand to fill their containers, and they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form.

Pick something that is a gas in the room that you are in

Multiple Select

Think of a gas (the inside of a soccer ball is filled with a mixture of gases)

Does it have a shape of its own?

Can you see it?

Could you feel it?

Does it have mass?

Could it sit by itself?

Multiple Select

check all that apply for your gas

Can you pour it?

Does it feel wet?

Does it take up space?

Can a solid object pass through it easily?

Does it flow?

Multiple Select

What TWO questions from all three tables have “yes” for solids, liquids, and gases?

Does it take up space

can you feel it?

Does it have mass

does it pour?

can you see it?
