Froot Loops States of Matter

Directions: As you know, matter can exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas. Particles make up all matter. A single particle is so tiny that you can't see it when you look at a solid, liquid, or gas. 

In a solid, the particles hardly move and stay really close together (see picture below). In a liquid, the particles can move slowly and are not huddled next to each other like in a solid (see picture below). In a gas, the particles move fast and are far apart from each other (see picture below)! As you complete this activity, think about these big questions:

  • Are particles close together or far apart in a solid?
  • Are particles close together or far apart in a liquid?
  • Are particles close together or far apart in a gas?
  • How do the particles move in a solid, a liquid, and a gas?


Look at this picture to help you think about the different particles in a solid, liquid, and a gas.

Your job is to print and complete the Froot Loops States of Matter (click link) worksheet. After you have finished the worksheet, bring it to the teacher along with your "Action Plan" worksheet to obtain the teacher's signature.


If you chose to complete this activity, then you must pick and complete one other optional individual activity.
