Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about States of Matter and their Structure. Suitable for .

Main Concepts

There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

A liquid maintains its volume, but flows to take the shape of its container.(MS)

State of matter is an extrinsic property of matter that depends on conditions such as temperature and pressure.

In a gas, particles of matter are widely spaced except when they collide.

A substance in solid form is generally denser than the substance in liquid form.

A gas can flow and expand to take the volume and shape of its container.(MS)

A solid maintains its shape and volume.

In a gas, particles of matter move relative to one another and do not remain in contact.

In a solid, particles of matter vibrate in place and do not move relative to each other.

A substance in liquid form is generally denser than the substance in gas form.

In a solid, particles of matter are closely spaced.

Atoms and molecules are in constant motion.

In a liquid, particles of matter move relative to one another but remain in contact.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What are the three main states of matter? What is matter? What is the basic unit of all matter? How are atoms and molecules related?

After the Game

What do the molecules look like when they are in a solid state? What determines the state of a substance? How can we describe the shape and volume of a solid, liquid and gas? What is the difference between sublimation and depostition? How does a change in temperature affect the motion of molecules and the state of a substance? What happened when you mixed a liquid with a gas?
