Chapter 1, Lesson 2: What Are Solids, Liquids, and Gases?
Summary
Atoms are small particles that make up matter. In solids atoms fit tightly together and do not move very much. In liquids, they slide past each other. The atoms in gases are far apart and are not connected. They keep moving until something stops them. Adding or taking away heat can cause matter to change states.

Summary
Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. Mass is how much matter is in an object. The mass of an object stays the same in any way its matter is arranged. Different objects can have the same volume but different masses. Click on the button below to watch and interact with a video. |
