Solid, liquid and gas are the three states of matter.

Different states of matter have different characteristics.

Solid
Solid can be touched.
Solid have their own shape.
Some solid are light, some are heavy.

Activity Mass
Some solid are light, some are heavy. Why?
- Because different solid have different mass.
- The mass of solid determines how heavy or how light they are.
What are some solids that you can find in your classroom?
- Measure and record the mass of the solids.

Activity Shape
Solids are found in different shapes.
Lets find out if the shape of solid changes.
- Use the solids that you have found.
- Put each solid into containers of different shapes.
- Do the solids change their shapes?
- Measure and record the mass of the solids.

Activity Volume
Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.
Lets find out if solids have a fixed volume.
- Use the solids that you have found.
- You can use a formula or a graduated cylinder to find the volume of solids.
- Volume = length x width x heigh = ___ cm
3

- Measure and record the mass of the solids.
Liquid
Do you think has mass, a fixed shape and a fixed volume?

Activity Mass
Lets find out if liquids have a fixed volume.
- Glass , Water, & Weight
- Mass before liquid is poured Vs Mass after liquid is poured
= Mass of liquid

Activity Shape
- Different shaped container.
- Pour some coloured water into each container.

- All the liquids flow into the containers.
- The water takes the shape of the containers into which it is poured.
Activity Volume
- 100 ml of water in a beaker.
- Pour the water from the beaker into a measuring cylinder.
- Measuring cylinder into conical flask.
What is you observe?
Still has the same volume. ------ liquid has a fixed volume.

Gas
Activity Mass
- 2 balloon
- Thread
- Wooden stick
- Sticky tape
