As you can see matter changes in many ways.
Over the next several weeks we are going to study these more and do lots of fun experiments just....
Last time for our Thinking Caps.....
Like a Scientist!!!!!!
CONDENSATION
Is the change from a GASEOUS state to a LIQUID state
If you leave a glass of cold water outside on a hot day, what happens to the glass?
Does anyone have an idea they would like to share on what this is called?
Condensation
VAPORIZATION
Change from a LIQUID state to a GAS state
Thinking Caps Again.....
If you place a pan of water on a hot stove, eventually the water will boil, producing what?
This one is tricky, does anyone have some guesses??
Remember there are no WRONG answers!!!
Water Vapor is produced during Vaporization
FREEZING
Thinking Caps Again...
Freezing is the change from a LIQUID state to a SOLID state
It Freezes......
If you place a cup of water in the freezer, what will the water do?
Next Science Unit
States of Matter
and how they change.
MELTING
First a quick review of Matter.
What is Matter?
Melting is change from Solid state to Liquid state
Matter
Matter is the "stuff" that all objects and substances in the universe are made of.
Because all matter takes up space (has volume) and contains a certain amount of material (has mass), all matter can be detected and measured.
What's the Matter?
Let's Put on our Thinking Caps
Solid, Liquid, Gas
If you put a ice cube on the counter what will happen to the ice?
States of Matter
It Melts....
Let's take a minute to think about the differences between, a rock, orange juice and air.
Does a rock change shape?
Does orange juice change shape?
Does air change shape?
Changing States of Matter
Solid
A rock changes shape only if you cut or smash it.
Orange juice takes on the shape of the its container, and if you pour it on the floor it will spread out to form a puddle.
Air spreads out even more than the orange juice does...and it keeps spreading out in all directions.
- Let's look at WATER, it's a substance that can be found in three states: Solid ice, liquid water, and water vapor (gas).
Defining Features: Keep its shape and volume.
Can you please give an example of a solid.
GAS
- Takes on the shape and volume of its container
- Can flow (through a room, for example)
Liquid
- Takes the shape of it's container
- Keeps the same volume, in a container or not
- can flow
Solids, Liquids and Gases
