The Three States of Matter

• Solid - atoms are tightly packed, and don't move around (desk, pencil, backpack)
• Liquid - spaces between atoms that move slightly all the time (water, soda, juice)
• Gas - atoms are always moving. There is so much space between the atoms that you can move around in it. (air, steam)

Adding energy, in the form of heat, can change a solid to a liquid.  And if we continue to add heat, our liquid will turn into gas.

Removing energy from a gas can create liquid.  And if we continue to remove heat, our liquid will freeze into a solid.
