This happens when something about a material changes, like its shape, color, or state (solid, liquid, or gas), but it's still the same substance.

Matter

Back

Everything around you that takes up space and has weight is made of matter. It can be a solid, liquid, or gas.

Solid

Back

A type of matter that keeps its shape and doesn't flow. Think of things like rocks, books, or ice.

Liquid

Back

A type of matter that flows and takes the shape of its container. Water, juice, and milk are examples of liquids.

Gas

A type of matter that spreads out to fill whatever space it's in. Air and the steam from boiling water are examples of gas.

Conservation of matter

Back

This means that matter can’t be created or destroyed. Even when it changes form, like when ice melts into water, the amount of matter stays the same.
