Difference in Sizes

Objects can be… Small Medium Large

States Of Matter

Solid Liquid Gas

These are called phases

Solid

Molecules are close together

Is a specific size and shape

Doesn’t take the shape of a container

Ex: Ice, wood, etc.

Liquid

Molecules are more spaced apart

Flows Takes the shape of

a container Ex: Soda, Water,

etc.

Gas

Molecules are very spread apart

the container Ex: Helium,

Oxygen, etc.

Water

Found in all 3 phases Solid-Ice Liquid-water Gas-water vapor

Temperatures

Measures how hot or cold something is

Measured with a toll called thermometer

The degree is the unit used

Knowing What to Wear

When it’s warm

Shorts T-shirts Swimsuit

When it’s cold

Coats Pants Gloves

Melting and Freezing Point

Melting-When a solid turns to liquid

Freezing- A liquid turns to solid. Happens at 0 degrees Celcius.

Boiling Point

Liquid is Heated It begins to bubble Then the liquid turns to gas Happens at 100 degrees Celcius

What We Learned

Physical properties are observed There are 3 States of Matter Temperature- How hot or Cold
