States of Matter
The three states of matter are:

Solids
Liquids
Gases

Intro Video
 Solids
Solids have a definite size and shape.

Solids are usually hard and hold their own

shape unless something happens to it.

A rock is an example of a solid.

 Liquids
Liquids take the shape of the container
they are poured into.

Liquids are in between the solid and gas

states of matter.

An example of a liquid is water. The glass

that the water is poured into is a solid.

Hint: Anything we can drink is a liquid.

 Gases
Gases have no definite size or
shape.

Gases can fill a container of any

size or shape.

Gases are easily compressed.

An example of a gas is the helium

inside of a balloon.
 Liquid to Solid, Liquid to Gas
A liquid can turn into a solid by freezing.
For example, water (liquid) can be frozen
into ice cubes (solid).

A liquid can also turn into a gas through

heat.
For example, water (liquid) can be boiled
and it releases a gas called steam.
