Big Ideas
- The physical properties of matter, such as shape, volume, and particle movement, distinguish solids, liquids, and gases.
- The kinetic energy of atoms and molecules determines how matter behaves in different states.
Essential Questions
- How do solids, liquids, and gases differ in their structure, shape, and volume?
- What role does kinetic energy play in determining the state of matter?
- How does the movement of atoms and molecules change among solids, liquids, and gases?
- Why is understanding the differences between states of matter important in science?
- What observable evidence can help us identify the state of matter of a substance?
