Learn about the properties of solids, liquids, and gases, and conduct an experiment to prove that gases have mass and take up space. Discover the characteristics of each state of matter and their behavior. A fun and educational exploration for all ages.
E N D
Solids • They keep their shape • They have mass. • They occupy space.
Properties of Solid Objects Rigid Flexible Smooth Soft Rough Hard Flat Has color Pointed
Liquids • They take the shape of the container that holds them. •You can pour them from one container to another. • •Gravity usually pulls liquid downward. • They have mass. • They occupy space.
Properties of Liquids Bubbly Have color Colorless Flow Foams Pour
Gases • They can float in the air. •Some gases are invisible. • They have mass. • They occupy space.
Properties of Gases They expand to fill their containers Colorless They occupy far more space than the liquids or solids Some are odorless.
Question: How can we prove that gas takes up space?
One property of gas is that it expands to fill its container. If we create gas inside a container, then place a balloon on the container. If gas is created in the container, then the balloon should inflate. Prediction:
Fill a soda bottle with about an inch of vinegar. • Put about a table spoon of baking soda inside the deflated balloon. • Secure the opening of the balloon around the opening of the bottle, then raise the balloon so that the baking soda falls into the vinegar. Plan:
As the gas built up and filled the container, the balloon inflated. Results:
Gas expands to fill a container. Conclusion:
What are the 3 states of matter? Solid Gas Liquid
