2. PROPERTIES OF MATTER
• Matter is anything that has
mass and takes up space
• You can compare matter
based on the properties of
state, color, texture,
temperature, mass, and
volume

3. STATE
• States of Matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma
• The way particles are arranged is what makes
a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma

• Solid: The particles are
packed together tightly and
do not move around
• Solids take up a certain
amount of space

5. LIQUIDS
• Liquids: Particles have
movement and slide around to
take shape of their container

6. GASES
• Gases: No definite shape or
volume and particles are moving
fast!

7. PLASMAS
• Plasmas: A lot like gases but you
don’t find them too often walking
around. It takes a very special
environment to keep plasmas going
