Changing States of Matter

Today we discussed the states of matter and what happens at a molecular level in each state. Solids--have mass (take up space), have weight, have shape Liquids--have mass, have weight, change shape Gases--have mass, have weight, do not have a shape Here is a link to an animation of these states of matter. Next week we will do hands on centers to explore all 3 states of matter. Tuesday students measured the length and width of solids. They also used balance scales to find the weight of solids.
