The document discusses the three common states of matter - solids, liquids, and gases. It defines each state and provides examples. It then explains the phase changes between the different states: melting (solid to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), freezing (liquid to solid), condensation (gas to liquid), and sublimation (solid to gas). Videos are embedded to illustrate each phase change. Basic information about the author is also provided.

3. Solids Solids are HARD and KEEP their shape Rocks, plastic, and metal are all solids Quit

4. Liquids Liquids can FLOW and TAKE THE SHAPE of their container Water, blood, and orange juice are all liquids Quit

5. Gases Gases are EVERYWHERE and can FILL ANY container Air, water vapor, and helium are all gases Quit

6. Melting MELTING is when a SOLID turns into a LIQUID with high temperatures. ICE turning into WATER is an example of melting. CLICK HERE to watch a video of ice melting. Quit

7. Evaporation EVAPORATION is when a LIQUID turns into a GAS with high temperatures. WATER boiling and turning into VAPOR is an example of evaporation. CLICK HERE to watch a video of water evaporating. Quit

8. Freezing FREEZING is when a LIQUID turns into a SOLID with cold temperatures. WATER turning into ICE is an example of freezing. CLICK HERE to watch a video of water freezing. Quit

9. Condensation CONDENSATION is when a GAS turns into a LIQUID due to cool temperatures. WATER forming on the outside of a glass is an example of condensation. CLICK HERE to watch a video of water forming on a glass. Quit

10. Sublimation SUBLIMATION is when a SOLID turns directly into a GAS without first becoming a liquid. DRY ICE turning into gas is an example of sublimation. CLICK HERE to watch a video of dry ice turning into gas. Quit
