We can look at these 3 properties to figure out
which state of matter an object is:

SHAPE … does it have a definite shape?

MASS … does it have a definite amount of

matter?

VOLUME … does it take up a definite

amount of space?
Examples of Solids
Let’s explore liquids…
Question to investigate
 Does water hold together well or come apart easily?
Materials for each group
 Water in small cup, dropper, popsicle stick, index card
Procedure
1. Use a dropper to gently squeeze out one drop of water but try not to let the
drop fall completely out of the dropper. See how far you can make the drop hang
off the end of the dropper without it falling.
2. Place 4-5 drops of water into a small puddle on your index card. Gently tilt the
index card in different directions so that the drop moves.
3. Use a popsicle stick to slowly move your drop around the index card. Try to
separate your drop into two.
4. Use your popsicle stick to move the two drops near each other. Then move one
drop so that the two drops touch.
What did you observe?
 Whenyou squeezed the drop of water out of the
dropper, did the water break apart or hold together?
 When you were pulling the drop around the wax
paper, did the water seem to hold together or come
apart easily?
 Wasit easy or difficult to make the drops come
together?
 How would you describe the motion and attraction
of the liquid molecules?

Because liquid molecules can move, they will
take the shape of their container.

A gas will spread out to fill all
the space in whatever
container it is in.
If unconfined, gases will
spread out indefinitely.
Examples of Gases
 MIXTURE

to blend together

SOLVENT
capable of dissolving a

acetone
ethanol milk
SOLUTE
dissolved substance
in a solution.
SOLUBLE
capable of being
dissolved.

*Salt in water.
*Sugar in water.
*Carbon dioxide in water.
*Glucose in water.
ACTIVITY
Identify if it is a solid, liquid, gas or mixture. Write it down on the
corresponding column.

SOLID LIQUID GAS MIXTURE

Each group will be given manila
paper, pentel pen and they will
draw, describe the state of
matter that is given to them.
After 5minutes they will analyze
how matter help our daily lives.
The group will choose a leader
and present it in class.
ABSTRACTION
WHAT IS MATTER?
Matter-anything that occupies
space and has mass.

WHAT IS SOLID?
Solid-firm, compact, not hollow,
strongly constructed and having
three dimensions.
WHAT IS LIQUID?
Liquid-does not expand indefinitely,
clear, limpid, flowing smoothly and
musically.

WHAT IS GAS?
Gas-an air-like substance with the capacity
to expand indefinitely and not liquefy or
solidify at ordinary temperatures.
WHAT IS MIXTURE?
Mixture-to blend together in a single
mass.

WHAT IS SOLVENT?
Solvent-capable of dissolving a
substance.
WHAT IS SOLUTE?

Solute-dissolved substance in a
solution.
WHAT IS SOLUBLE?

Soluble-capable of being dissolved.

Water-universal solvent.

o Solids: A state of matter where the particles only vibrate and cannot move
from their position
o Liquids: A state of matter where the particles move enough to slide past each
other
o Gases: A state of matter where the particles bounce freely and rapidly
