Chapter 4 - States of Matter









molecules of solid            molecules of liquid                     molecules of gas



States of Matter

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.  Our food, drinks, homes, pens, and even our bodies are made up of matter.  There are three states or phases of matter that are important to us: solidsliquids, and gases.

Solid water = ice             Liquid water = fluid water   Gaseous water = water vapor

Chapter 4 – States of Matter Presentations

You will be learning about the states of matter.  It will be your group’s job to master your content area.  You will read your section in the textbook and research your content on the internet. 

Focus points: movement/motion of molecules, examples in our daily lives, how they affect us, movement or transition of thermal energy.

Each group will make:
1.  a visual presentation of their material (e.g. slideshow, poster, physical examples, mini-lab, etc.)
2. a written summary of their subject matter; one page typed (250 words typed). Each group member will attach their contribution to the final paper. 
3. three test questions about their material

Each person must contribute to their presentations; failure to do so will result in the group losing a letter grade.

Group 1 – Solids
Group 2 – Liquids
Group 3 – Gasses
Group 4 – Solids & Liquids
Group 5 – Liquids & Gases
Group 6 – States of Matter Graph

  4. What type of matter is soap? It isn't a solid, and it doesn't feel like a liquid nor is it a gas because it is clearly visioned

  7. Hi Mr. Considine. This is Fatema Lovely from class 61C. I really like those pictures you have of the molecules. They definitely show the obvious difference of solids, liquids, and gases. For our presentations,I think that my group members and I will draw a picture of the molecules separated.

  8. I never realized that thermal energy made each matter change to the next. I would never think about how they change. I only looked at the facts. This information was very helpful!

  13. I read that solid can change into many other matters such as liquid and gas. The part where there is a picture of solid and the molecules are lined up and it stays in place.
