States of matter for kids - What are the states of matter? Solid, liquid and gas

# data[].attributes.body
This interactive learning activity is suitable for various types of learners in the classroom. The activity begins with information with images about the different states of matter. The student will then be given the opportunity to classify various given states of matter by dragging the item to into the correct box labelled "Solids, Liquids, Gases"

Although plasma as a state of matter is not covered in the students textbook or on state examinations, plasma is known as the fourth state of matter.

Misconception: It is the same plasma that is found in blood

This peer reviewed paper tackles a significant problem regarding the physical characteristics of matter that most people are ignorant of. According to the article, there are 5 distinct states of matter in the cosmos, not just the 3 that are taught in schools: Gas, Solid, Liquid, Plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate. Despite their rare and occasional spontaneous occurrence on Earth, they are essential to the Earths equilibrium.

Properties & States of Matter (Physics): An Overview

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The physical properties of matter underlie much of physics. A state of matter is one of many possible distinct forms that matter can exist in. There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Each state has distinct properties that distinguish it from the other states.

Robertson addresses the factors that influence the various states of matter in this article. The strength of the bonds between atoms and molecules determines whether an object is a solid, liquid, or gas. Numerous factors can influence how closely they are related. The states of matter are influenced by pressure, temperature, mass, velocity, and strength of contact.

Misconceptions

Children find it very difficult to understand just how small atoms and molecules actually are. A common misconception is that cells and atoms are comparable; in fact cells contain millions of molecules.

One way of introducing the idea of 'magnitude' is to use a football. If you measure the diameter of a football and divide it by 10 [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. ( ⁸, that gives the size of an atom. If you multiply it by 10 ⁸, that gives the size of the Earth. If you have access to the internet, there is a website called 'powers of ten' which will help you to envisage the magnitude of atoms: http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/Hide tip) ] .

Children also have misconceptions about the particle model for matter. Some of the common ones that you will find include:

If a solid or liquid is heated, the particles get bigger. This is not the case. At higher temperatures, they move about more and take up more space, but they do not get bigger.

Children tend to overestimate the space between the particles in liquids. They regard a liquid as half-way between a solid and a gas. This is not the case. The particles in a liquid are close together, although they are free to move and change place.

Children confuse 'melting' and 'dissolving'. Some children think that when a solid melts, the particles 'pop' or simply disappear.

Children find it difficult to accept that most of a gas is empty space.

Children assume that the particles will have the same properties as the solid, liquid or gas they make up and therefore will explode, contract, expand or change shape.

When they see a diagram of a molecule such as oxygen (O₂), children think it must be a compound because there are two atoms joined together. They do not always understand that if both the particles are the same then it is an element.
