Science: Trivia
MATTER
Solids
Solids, such as wood and
stone, have a fixed shape that
is difficult to change. This is
because the particles inside
them are linked to each other
and fixed in place.
Gas
Gases such as air are the
lightest state of matter.
They are easy to push through,
and may not be visible to
human eyes. The particles in a
gas are not connected to each
other, so they can float around
freely.
Liquid
Liquids such as water can flow
freely, changing their shape.
This is because the particles
that make up a liquid are not
fixed in place. They stay linked
together, but can move around
each other.
