Solid, Liquid and Gas

The average movement of particles in an object is determined by the amount of energy in the object.

​

Temperature is the measurement of this movement.​

WILF: I can identify the effects of energy changes in the state of matter.

CHANGING STATES OF MATTER

Add Energy: the particles will start to move quickly.

​

Remove Energy: the particles will slow down and move closer together.​

WILF: I can identify the effects of energy changes in the state of matter.

CHANGING STATES OF MATTER

What happens when energy is INCREASED (or added)?

WILF: I can identify the effects of energy changes in the state of matter.

CHANGING STATES OF MATTER

1. Melting: Solid turns to Liquid​

2. Evaporating: Liquid turns to Gas

What happens when energy is DECREASED (or removed)?

WILF: I can identify the effects of energy changes in the state of matter.

CHANGING STATES OF MATTER

1. Condensing: Gas turns to liquid

2. Freezing: Liquid turns to Solid
