Key Stage 2
Meaning
State of matter means whether a material is solid, liquid or gas.
About States of Matter
- Materials can be solid, liquid or gas.
- The state of matter can be changed by heating or cooling the material.
- Heating can turn a solid into a liquid and turn a liquid to a gas.
- Cooling can turn a gas into a liquid and liquid into solid.
Solid
 |
|
 |
| Solids cannot be squashed into a smaller size. You can change their shape, but their size stays the same. |
Examples of solid materials:
- Brick
- Wood
- Plastic
- Glass
- Ice
Liquid
 |
|
 |
| Liquids cannot be squashed into a smaller size. You can change their shape, but their size stays the same. |
Examples of liquid materials:
- Water
- Oil
Gas
 |
|
 |
| Gases can be squashed into a smaller size. |
Examples of gas materials:
- Air (A mixture of gases, mostly nitrogen and oxygen)
- Steam
