States of Matter

| 0 comments

We have been learning about the 3 states of matter – solids liquids and gases. We now know that the molecules within each move differently. We found ways today of illustrating how the molecules within each state look.

30.8.16 002 30.8.16 006 30.8.16 007 30.8.16 008

In a solid the molecules are all tightly packed together and have no room to move, they can only vibrate. The molecules in a liquid have more space to move and slide past each other. In a gas the molecules are very spaced out and have freedom to  move around.
