Today we learned about the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. We compared the three and learned about their molecular structure using cheerios as a model!
SOLID | Has a definite shape and volume. In other words, a solid has a shape that doesn't change unless acted upon and does not flow. |  |
LIQUID | Takes the shape of its container, but has a definite volume. In other words, a liquid flows and does not have it's own shape. |  |
GAS | Fills the entire volume of its container. In other words, gases are free to fill whatever space they have. You can't always see them. |  |
| Solid molecules are close together and do not move past each other. | Liquid molecules are close together, but slide freely past each other. | Gas molecules move freely past each other quickly and don't stay together |
