3 phases of matter

1. Matter

2. What is matter?
•Matter is everything
around you, including
you!
•Matter is what all things
are made of.

3. Matter has 3 forms.
1. Solid
2. Liquid
3. Gas

4. Solids
• A solid has its own
shape.
• A solid does not
change unless
you cut, bend, or
break it.
• Solids take up
space and have
mass.

5. Liquids
• Liquids do not
have their own
shape.
• Liquids take
the shape of
their container.
• Liquids take up
space and
have mass.

6. Gases
• Gases have no definite size or
shape.
• Gases take the shape of its
container.
• A gas will fill all the space
inside a container.
• Gases take up space and have
mass.

7. Three Forms of Matter
A Solid A Liquid A Gas
ice water vapor
water

8. Matter has certain properties.
• Matter can have color.
• Matter can be different sizes.
• Matter can have different shapes.
• Matter can have texture.
• Matter can be rigid or bendable.
• Matter also takes up space
and has mass.

9. We can group objects by their properties.
How can we group these objects?

10. 1.Did you sort them by color?
One property is color.
Color
Red
Green
Yellow

11. Size
Large objects
Small objects
2. Did you sort them by size?
A second property is size.

12. Circles
Squares
Triangles
3. Did you sort them by shape?
A third property is shape.
Shape

13. We can group objects if they are
rigid or bendable.
• Bendable means that the matter can
bend, curve, or turn.
• Rigid means that the matter cannot bend,
it is stiff.
• Can you name something
that is rigid and something
that is bendable?

14. Which objects are rigid?
Which objects are bendable?

15. These objects
are rigid.
These objects
are bendable.

16. Centimeter
• Centimeter is a unit used to measure
length.
• Milliliter is a unit used to measure volume
of a liquid.

17. Let’s Review!
1. What are the 3 forms of
matter?

18. 1. The 3 forms of matter are ____
Solids
Liquids
Gases

19. 2. A solid has a definite shape.
a. True
b. False

20. 2. True
A solid has a definite size and
shape.

21. 3. A liquid has a definite shape.
a. True
b. False

22. 3. False
A liquid has a definite size, but it
takes the shape of its container.

23. 4. A gas has a definite shape.
a. True
b. False

24. 4. False
A gas has no definite size or
shape, because it fills all the
space of its container.

25. 5. What are some properties
of matter?

26. 5. Some properties of matter include
_____.
color
size
shape
rigid
bendable
texture

27. Congratulations!
You have learned that matter is
EVERYWHERE!
