  1. What’s the matter with matter? By Elaine Williams

  2. What is an atom? • An atom is the smallest particle of matter • Everything is made of atoms • Atoms combine together to form molecules

  3. What is a solid? • A solid keeps its shape • The atoms in a solid are in a close pattern • The atoms do not move around • A solid is hard • Solids can not be compressed (squashed) because the atoms are very close to each other

  4. What is a liquid? • A liquid takes the shape of its container, they do not have their own shape • The atoms have more space between them • Liquids can flow because the atoms can move past each other • Liquids can not be compressed (squashed) because the atoms are still close together but not necessarily touching

  5. What is a gas? • Gas atoms expand to fill their container • The atoms are very spread out and always moving around and changing patterns • Gas atoms are stopped by the walls of their container • Gases can be compressed (squashed) because the atoms are so far apart they can be squeezed together

  6. Fun Facts: What is solid, liquid, and gas? Water is solid when its ICE Water is liquid at room temperature Water is gas when it boils and evaporates

  7. Comprehension Questions • What is an atom? • How are atoms arranged in a solid? • How are atoms arranged in a liquid? 4. How are atoms arranged in a gas?
