    The document defines matter as anything that has mass and takes up space. It then describes the three common states of matter - solids, liquids, and gases - and their distinguishing properties. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids take the shape of their container but have a definite volume, and gases spread out to fill their entire container without a definite volume. The document also notes that changing between these states, through heating or cooling, is known as a state or phase change.

    What will happen? Why?
    Changing States

     There are several names for matter changing states:
