Matter

=Solid, Liquid and Gas =

__**What is a solid? **__ A **solid** is an object that cannot change its shape. You can hold a solid. They always take up the same amount of space. Even though sand, flour and salt can be poured, they are still a solid. The tiny particles they are made up of don't change their shape.

__**What is a liquid? **__ A **liquid** needs its container to keep its shape. Liquids can change their shape depending on the kind of container they are in. Liquids flow easily and are hard to hold. In a liquid, the molecules are a bit further apart so the liquid can shift and move.

__**What is a gas? **__ A gas is often invisible. The molecules in a gas are spread out which makes them move easily through the air. Gases do not keep their shape.
