1. States Of Matter!

2. What is Matter?
Matter is anything that takes up space and
weight! The states of matter include;
solid,liquid, gas, plasma and Bose-Einstein
Condensates.
All states of matter are made up of atoms. An
atom is like a building block. It makes up
everything you see! Each state of matter has a
different patterns of atoms. The different
patterns of atoms are what make the states of
matter so much different than each other.

3. What is a Bose-Einstein
Condensate?
●
This state of matter is a new
edition to the crew.
●
It all starts when the atoms
start to get cold, really cold.
●
When the atoms get cold, they
get closer and begin to clump
up.
●
When the atoms clump up,
they become one big blob that
all look the same.

4. What is a Solid?
●
Solids are usually
hard because of their
atomic structure.
●
Solids have tightly
packed molecules.
The closer the
molecules, the harder
the solid.
●
Solids always hold
their own shape.

5. What is a liquid?
●
Liquid is the middle man
of the states of matter,
it's molecules aren't as
tightly packed as solids,
but not as spread out as
gas and have no
particular pattern.
●
Liquid always takes the
shape of it's container
from the bottom up.

6. What is a Gas?
● Gases are random
groups of atoms that
are really spread out.
● Gases are full of
energy.
● Gases can fill any
container regardless
of size or shape.

7. What in the World is Plasma?
● Plasma isn't found
very often.
● Plasma's are a lot like
gases but plasmas
are made up of free
electrons and ions of
the element.
● Plasmas are mostly
found in the
atmosphere.
