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