Describe what you would “see” and “feel” in each case:

  • A block of ice

  • A glass of water

  • A balloon filled with air

Draw arrows to show how the particles move in each state.

Solid (Ice)
[⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪ tightly packed grid of circles]

Liquid (Water)
[⚪⚪⚪⚪ circles close but irregular, not in rows]

Gas (Air)
[⚪ ⚪ ⚪ spaced far apart in a box]

✏️ Explain: How do particles move in each state?

    Three mystery containers:

    • Container X: rigid block

    • Container Y: liquid that pours

    • Container Z: invisible but fills the whole space

    ✏️ Identify the state of matter in each container:
    X = ________ , Y = ________ , Z = ________

    Predict: What happens to each if the temperature increases a lot?
