Particles of Life

and Changes All Around

States of Matter
Matter is all around you.
Your computer is matter.
Air is matter.
Water is matter.
You are matter.

In fact, you are made of the 3 major states of matter

solid, liquid and gas.
States of Matter
I have checked out the resource provided and have
learned:

I HAVE LEARNED THAT MATTER IS ANYTHING THAT IS TAKING UP SPACE AND HAS MASS.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATTER IN OUR WORLD, EACH OF THEM ARE MADE UP OF
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS. ELEMENTS LIKE GOLD OR COPPER ARE MADE UP OF ATOMS. LIKE
MATTER, ATOMS ARE EVERYWHERE. ATOMS ARE SMALL PARTICLES INSIDE OF AN ELEMENT
THAT REPRESENTS CERTAIN PROPERTIES OF THE ELEMENT. THERE ARE ALSO COMPOUNDS,
LIKE SUGAR, THAT ARE MADE UP OF TWO OR MORE ELEMENTS THAT ARE CHEMICALLY PUT
TOGETHER. THERE ARE ALSO MIXTURES, WHICH ARE TWO OR MORE SUBSTANCES THAT ARE
NATURALLY MIXED. WITH ALL OF THIS, WE HAVE THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS. DIFFERENT
ELEMENTS, ATOMS, COMPOUNDS AND THINGS CAN WORK TOGETHER WITH THE THREE
MAJOR STATES OF MATTER, LIQUID, SOLID AND GAS, TO CREATE DIFFERENT THINGS.
What do these three pictures
have in common?
Still not sure?
Check out this clue...

Matter is all around you, your TV is made up of matter,
your food is made up of matter, the air you breathe is
made up of matter, and the water you drink is made up
of matter. MATTER IS EVERYWHERE!!

Did you know that matter can be in three di"erent
phases. SOLID, LIQUID, & GAS.

Are all three of the previous pictures made up of matter? Yes! Of course they are!

Can you identify which picture is a solid, liquid, & gas? Yes! Of course I can! Lets see
the next slide!
Type of matter:
Ice is a SOLID state of matter
Water is a LIQUID state of
matter Steam is a GAS matter.
Are all three pictures made up of matter?
States of Matter
I have checked out the resource provided and have learned:
I HAVE LEARNED THAT A LIQUID CAN BECOME A SOLID BY FREEZING, A SOLID CAN
BECOME A LIQUID BY MELTING, AND A LIQUID CAN BECOME A GAS VIA EVAPORATION.
THESE ARE ALL PROCESSES THAT TAKE PLACE EVERYDAY IN OUR LIVES. WETHER WE
WITNESS IT OR IT IS HAPPENING ALL AROUND US.
Ice Cubes...
WHEN AN ICE CUBE MELTS, THE MATTER ONLY CHANGES ITS SHAPE.
WHEN AN ICE CUBE MELTS THE MATTER GOES FROM A SOLID BACK TO A LIQUID. YOU FILL UP AN
ICE CUBE TRAY WITH WATER, DONT YOU?
THE MATTER DOES NOT CHANGE, ONLY THE SHAPE.
THE MOLECULES IN THE ICE CUBE EXPAND BECAUSE WARM MOLECULES ARE BIGGER THAN
COLDER MOLECULES.
ICE CUBES WILL SLOWLY MELT AS THE TEMPERATURE RISES. THE HOTTER THE AIR IS, THE FASTER THE
ICE CUBE WILL MELT.
IT TAKES HEAT TO MELT AN ICE CUBE.
TO REMAIN AN ICE CUBE, THEY MUST BE STORED IN A FREEZER OR OUTSIDE WHEN IT IS FREEZING OUT.
Solids, liquids and gas are
all made up of particles so
small that they can be
seen only with a powerful
microscope.
AND ALL THE PARTICLES
BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY
IN THE THREE
DIFFERENT STATES OF MATTER
YOUR TASK!!!
You can draw a picture then use your camera to take a
picture of it and place it here:

1. Draw a picture of the particles of an ice cube
MY DRAWING:
SOLID PARTICLES ARE TIGHT AND IN A
REGULAR PATTERN
SOLID PARTICLES ARE TIGHT AND IN A
REGULAR PATTERN
VIBRATE AND JIGGLE,
BUT DONT MOVE ABOUT.

MY DRAWING:
YOUR TASK!!!
You can draw a picture then use your camera to take a
picture of it and attach it to an email

2. Draw a picture of the particles of a glass of water
Liquid
LIQUID PARTICLES ARE CLOSE TOGETHER WITH
NO SPECIFIC ORDER
THESE PARTICLES VIBRATE AND MOVE ABOUT, AND SLIDE PAST EACH OTHER
YOUR TASK!!!
You can draw a picture then use your camera to take a
picture of it and attach it to an email

3. Draw a picture of the particles of water vapor
MY DRAWING:
Gas
GAS PARTICLES ARE VERY FAR APART
WITH NO REGULAR ARRANGEMENT.
THESE PARTICLES VIBRATE AND MOVE FREELY AT HIGH SPEEDS
Particles Moving?
Relative motion is how the particles move in the di"erent
types of phases.

YOUR TASK!!!
You can draw a picture then use your camera to take a
picture of it and attach it to an email
4. Describe the relative motion (how are the particles moving) of the particles in each
phases
Your nished project should have 3 drawings (1) ice cube (2) glass of water (3) water vapor all
drawings should have the particles drawn wi thin each i tem, they each should be labeled wi th
solid, liquid, or gas and have a description of the relati ve motion of each phase.
ALL THE PARTICLES BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY IN THE THREE DIFFERENT STATES OF MATTER
Changes All Around

All matter can move from one state to
another.

It may require very low temperatures or
very high pressures, but it can be done.
Changes All Around

All matter can move from one state to
another.

MATTER IS NEVER DESTROYED
OR CREATED IN CHEMICAL
REACTIONS. THE PARTICLES OF
ONE SUBSTANCE ARE
REARRANGED TO FORM A NEW
SUBSTANCE. THE SAME
NUMBER OF PARTICLES THAT
EXIST BEFORE THE REACTION
EXIST AFTER THE REACTION.
Chemistry Tutorial 7.01b:
Phase Change Diagrams
I watched the following video and learned:

The three major matters can interact and
transform equa!y. What goes around comes
around. Solids can turn into liquid if associated
with enough heat "Melting#. Liquid can also turn
into a gas state with enough heat "Boiling#. Gas
can go back to its roots and turn into a liquid
when you remove the heat "Condensation#. If you
remove heat $om liquid, it wi! turn into a solid
"Freezing#. Solid being turned into a gas by
removing the heat is ca!ed sublimation. If you
take a gaseous state and pu! it downwards, it can
become a solid "Deposition#.
Water can exist in all three phases!
YOUR TASK!!!

Imagine you are a glass of water #liquid$
and you were just placed into the
freezer;
you become frozen #solid$.



You changed phases but the number of
particles that you had as a liquid didn't
change once you became a solid.
YOUR TASK!!!

DRAW A PICTURE THAT SHOWS THE
NUMBER OF PARTICLES IN THE WATER
DIDN'T CHANGE AS A RESULT OF A PHASE
CHANGE.

WHY DID THE PARTICLES STAY
THE SAME THROUGH A PHASE
CHANGE?

You need to watch this
THIS IS A VIDEO I FOUND ON YOUTUBE.COM ITS VERY INFORMATIONAL, BUT CORNY. CHECK IT
OUT IN PLAY MODE.
My Picture
water as a liquid
WITH THE CORRECT ARRANGEMENT
OF PARTICLES
WITH THE CORRECT ARRANGEMENT
OF PARTICLES
My Picture
water as a solid
I FROZE MY GLASS OF
WATER
90 PARTICLES ARE THE
SAME
90 PARTICLES ARE THE
SAME
I POURED MYSELF A
GLASS OF WATER
YOUR TASK!!!

(DRAW THE WATER AS A LIQUID FIRST WITH THE CORRECT
ARRANGEMENT OF PARTICLES THEN DRAW THE WATER
AS A SOLID WITH THE CORRECT ARRANGEMENT OF
PARTICLES. REMEMBER THE NUMBER OF PARTICLES
DIDN'T CHANGE)

DRAW YOUR PICTURE & ANSWER THE
QUESTION ABOVE AND TAKE A PICTURE
OF IT WITH YOUR CAMERA.
MY ANSWER!!!

WHY DID THE PARTICLES STAY THE SAME
THROUGH A PHASE CHANGE?
BECAUSE THE PARTICLES COME FROM THE SAME PLACE, THEY ARE ONLY
CHANGING PHYSICAL FORM.

NO MATTER WHAT STATE IT IS IN, IT IS ALWAYS WATER AND HAS THE
SAME CHEMICAL PROPERTIES.
Possible Science
Standards:
Possible Science Standards:

P4.p1A-For a substance that can exist in all three phases, describe the relative motion of
the particles in each of the phases

P4.p1B-For a substance that can exist in all three phases, make a drawing that shows the
arrangement and relative spacing of the particles in each of the phases

P4.p1C- For a simple compound, present a drawing that shows the number of particles in
the system does not change as a result of a phase change.

P5.p1A-Draw a picture of the particles of an element or compound as a solid, liquid, and
gas

If there are any more, great!
Thank You
THANK YOU FOR CHECKING OUT MY PROJECT! I HAVE
ENJOYED LEARNING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I NEVER REALLY
KNEW TOO MUCH ABOUT PARTICLES AND WHAT NOT, SO IT
WAS AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE. I HOPE I GET A GOOD
GRADE! LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKED MY PROJECT, IM
ALWAYS ACCEPTING SUGGESTIONS! HAVE A GOOD DAY
AND THANKS AGAIN!
