Key Stage 2

Meaning

Liquid is a state of matter that can be poured but cannot be squashed into a smaller space.

About Liquids

Liquids are a state of matter that:
LiquidPour.png
  • Can be poured and will flow.
  • Cannot hold their shape
  • Fit the shape of the container.
LiquidSquash.png
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

Key Stage 3

Meaning

A State of Matter where the particles are in a random arrangement touching but can slide past each other.

About Liquids

Liquids are a state of matter that:
ParticleModelLiquidPour.png
  • A liquid can be poured and will flow because the particles can slide past each other.
  • Liquids cannot hold their shape because the particles can slide past each other.
  • Liquids fit the shape of the container because the particles can slide past each other.

Liquids cannot be squashed into a smaller size because the particles are already touching so they can't get any closer together.
