Matter

• Matter is anything that takes up space.
• Everything on earth is matter.
• Matter exists in three states
• Solids
• Liquids
• Gases

Solids

• A solid does not change size or shape when it is
  moved.
• You can measure the shape and the mass of a
  solid.
• Examples book, apple, shoes
• Can you think of anymore?

4
Liquids

• Liquids do not have their own shape.
• They take the shape of its container.
• Examples water, juice, syrup
• How do liquids look and feel?

5
Gases

• Gas is matter that is all around you and fills
  many kinds of things.
• For example, bubbles, balloons, and balls are
  filled with gas.
• Air is also a gas.
• Can you think of another example?

6
Molecules

• Solids, Liquids, and Gases are made up of tiny
  particles called molecules.
• As a class we can act as if we are the molecules
  that make up solids, liquids, and gases!
• Everyone stand up and get ready to have some fun!

7
Solids

• Get as close as possible to one another and hold
  hands.
• The molecules in a solid are very close together
  and do not move very much.

8
Liquids

• To act as a liquid we still hold hands, but we
  spread out some and move together.
• The molecules of a liquid are loosely tied
  together and flow freely.

9
Gases

• Everyone let go of your neighbors hands and
  spread out.
• Walk around the room and slightly bump into one
  another, like bumper cars.
• The molecules in a gas have a lot of space
  between them and move freely.

Can you think of an object that can act as a
solid, liquid, and a gas?
11
Conclusion

• Now that we have reviewed solids, liquids, and
  gases it is now time to read Bartholomew and the
  Oobleck by Dr. Seuss and make our very own
  Oobleck!
• The Oobleck Recipe!
