Inquiry
Describe how particles in water change when we change between different states of matter form a solid (ice) to liquid (water) to gas (water vapour). Include how the particles behave (e.g. move) and their positions (are they close together or far apart). You can use illustrations to support your descriptions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ4WduVp9k4
There are 3 different states of matter, the states of matter are liquid, solid and gas. Matter in its liquid state will take up the shape and volume of its container. Matter in its solid state has a thick shape or volume. Unlike matter in its liquid state, you are able to touch the solid. On the other hand, matter in its gas state, you are not able the touch at all.
To demonstrate the 3 states of matter I will use water as an example. When water is frozen into ice it is a solid. When you melt the ice it turns into liquid ( water). When the sun heats up the water, the water turns into water vapour.
The particles in a liquid are separated and are able the move freely. Unlike liquids, the particles inside solids are cramped up together and are not be able to move around freely. Particles inside gas are different from the other 2 states of matter. The particles inside gas are widely separated and are able to move freely.
Rishi, your work shows that you have a good understanding of the different states of matter especially how the particles are spaced in each state. - Mrs Taege
