Objective: 1 What is matter?

2. Identify the three state of matter

3. State the properties of each state of matter

What is matter?

Matter - Matter is anything that has weight and takes up space. It is made up of particles.

Matter can be classified in three states Solid, Liquid and gas.

1. solids - keep their shape and are usually hard.

Properties of solid

Rigid- means it cannot poured
Fixed shape - it doesn't take the shape of its container
Fixed volume - The measurement remains the same

2. Liquids - Liquid can be pour and change shape depending on the container they are in.

Properties of liquid

Not rigid- It's a fluid and can be poured
No fixed shape- The liquid shapes like its container.
Fixed volume- The measurement remains the same

3. Gas- Gas fills its container and takes the shape of the whole container.

Example the air inside a balloon

Properties of gas

Not rigid
Not fixed shape
No fixed volume

Task

By the end of the Web Quest student will be able to understand the solid, liquid and gas with their properties. This web quest is design for middle class school life science classroom. It is design to explain solid, liquid, gas and their properties. It is for 6-8th grade level. The resources which are involve in this project is to help the students fully understand the topic. Teacher should be actively involved along with the student to make sure that each group have sufficient information to understand the project. this project also help the students to understand the solid, liquid, gas and their properties.
