SLO# 3.1
• 3.1.1 Define matter and also gives its properties
SLO# 3.2
• 3.2.1 Classify state of matter(Solid, Liquid and Gas)
• Explain solid, liquid and gas on the basis of space of
particle, shape, volume and force of attraction.
What is Matter?
• The basic definition:
• Matter is anything that takes up space.
What are the States of Matter?
• There are three states of matter: solids, liquids,
and gases.
What is a Solid?
• A solid is the simplest state of matter.
• A solid has these three main properties:
• It has a definite shape.
• It has a definite mass.
• It has a definite volume.
• A solid will always look the same and take up the same
amount of space.
Examples of Solids:
Basketball
Colored Pencils Chair
What is a Liquid?
• A liquid is the most fluid and ever-changing state of
matter
• A liquid has these three main properties:
• It does not have a definite shape.
• It has a definite mass.
• It has a definite volume.
A liquid will always take up the same amount of space
and
take the shape of its container.
Examples of Liquids:
Cough Syrup
Orange Juice
Salad Dressing
What is a Gas?
• A gas is the most complex and difficult to understand
state of matter
• A gas has these three main properties:
• It does not have a definite shape.
• It does not have a definite mass.
• It does not have a definite volume.
• A gas does not always weigh the same or take up the same
amount of space.
• However, like a liquid, a gas will always take the shape of
its container, no matter the size or shape of that
container.
Examples of Gases:
Air
Smoke
On your worksheet, decide whether
these items are solids, liquids, or gases.
Steam

Key Points:
• Matter is anything is anything that has mass and takes up
space.
• The three states of matter are:
• solids, liquids and gases.
• Solids:
• have a definite shape, mass and volume.
• Liquids:
• have a definite mass and volume, but not shape.
• Gases:
• do not have a definite mass, volume, or shape.
