Solids • Retains a fixed volume and a fixed shape • Rigid-particles are locked into place • Not easily compressible • Little free space between particles • Does not flow easily • Particles are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern • Solids vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place
Liquids • Assumes the shape of the part of the container that it occupies • Particles can move/slide past one another • Not easily compressible • Little free space between particles • Flows easily • Particles are close together with no regular arrangement • Particles vibrate, move about and slide past each other
Gases • Assumes the shape of the container • Particles can move past one another • Compressible • Lots of space between particles • Flows easily • Particles are well separated with no regular arrangement • Gas particles vibrate and move freely at high speeds
Draw/Act • Join with another group of 2 people and draw on the whiteboard or act out in your group the differences between solids, liquids and gases.
