Key Stage 2

Meaning

Gas is a state of matter that can change size and shape to fit any container.

About Gases

Most gases are invisible but we can feel them.
When the air moves we call it the wind.
Gases are a state of matter that:

  • Cannot hold their shape.
  • Fit the shape of their container.
  • Can be poured and will flow.
GasSquash.png
Gases can be squashed into a smaller size.

Examples of gas materials:

  • Air (A mixture of gases, mostly nitrogen and oxygen)
  • Steam

Key Stage 3

Meaning

A State of Matter in which the particles are separated by large distances and can move freely.

About Gas

Gases are a state of matter that:

  • Gases cannot hold their shape because the particles are free to move.
  • Gases fit the shape of their containers because the particles are free to move.
  • A gas can be poured and will flow because the particles are free to move.
