Author: Jessica Marquez

What is matter?

Here is a fun song you can use to learn about these states of matter.

Matter is everything we see around the world. There are 3 states of matter you need to become familiar with. The first state of matter is Solid, the second state is Liquid, and the last state of matter is Gas.

Gas

A gas takes on size and shape of container. There are various examples we see of gas in our daily lives.

Liquid

A liquid doesn’t have a definite shape and takes on the shape of its container.

Solid

A solid has its own shape and size. The shape doesn't change even when moved. Solids have distinct features that help you identify it as that state of matter.
