"MATTER-ial"
for you.
Matter is everywhere. We can observe matter wherever we are. We use matter in everything
we do. The
flowers we picked, the ball we use is playing sports, the water on the
pool and the smoke
from the
vehicles we ride are all samples of
matter. The ingredients of your
favorite food are matter.
Matter is considered as anything that occupy
space and it has mass.
Every matter consists of tiny particles that cannot be easily seen and detected by our naked
eyes. There
were scientists who worked on experiments to discover more
about matter and its tiny
particles.
Matter on Earth is in the
form of solid, liquid, or gas. Solids,
liquids, and gas are made of tiny
particles called atoms and molecules
.
Solids are examples of matter that have a definite size, shape, and mass because of their
particles.
Particles of solid are compact or it simply means they are
very close to one another.
Liquids are another phase of matter that has no definite shape but has a definite volume. It
follows the
shape of its container and it is due to its particles
. Particles of liquid are close to each
other which simply means that the particles have spaces between
them.
Gas does not have a definite shape and mass because of its particles. Particles of gas are far
apart from
one another. Diffusion is the spreading of a
substance in air due to the movement of its
particles.
