Fill in the blanks using the following words: solid, liquid, gas, matter, volume.
Everything around us is made of matter . Matter can exist in three states: solid , liquid , and gas . A solid has a definite shape and volume , while a liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. A gas has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
Imagine you have a glass of water. Explain what happens to the water molecules when the water evaporates.
The water molecules gain energy from the surroundings (like the air) which allows them to move faster and break free from the liquid phase, turning into water vapor (a gas) and dispersing into the air.
