Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Grade 2 · Science · States of Matter · British Columbia, Canada
Lesson Summary
Everything around us is either a solid, a liquid, or a gas. Each one behaves differently.
Explanation
Matter is anything that takes up space. It comes in three main forms called states. Solids have their own shape and do not change easily, like a book or a rock. Liquids flow and take the shape of whatever container they are in, like water or juice. Gases spread out and fill all the space they can, like the air you breathe. Understanding these three states helps you describe the world around you.
