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 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
Gas can be squashed into a smaller size because the particles are spread apart. |
