More thinking about states of matter...

Today we have been learning about the properties of each state of matter:

Solids have tightly packed molecules and their shape is hard to change.

Liquids have moving molecules and they take on the shape of the container that they are in.


Gases have wild and moving molecules and cannot be contained easily.

We also looked at what they have in common:

LS = you can see them easily
LG = flow easily
LG = don't keep shape
SL = don't fly around 
LG = affected by gravity
SL = can feel them, hold them, weigh them

They can ALL be measured!
