​

The Three States of Matter

What is Strenght when it comes to matter?

• Some objects are strong and do not break easily

• Examples of this are metal, bricks, and a wooden table

What is Flexibility when it comes to matter?

• Some objects can bend and move without breaking

• Examples of this are rubber bands, plastic rulers, and gym mats

What is Hardness when it comes to matter?

• Some things are very hard and difficult to scratch or break

• Examples of this are diamonds, glass, and hard rocks

What is Texture when it comes to matter?

• Texture is how something feels when you touch it

• Examples

  -Soft (cotton, fur)

  -Rough (sandpaper, tree bark)

  -Smooth (glass, marble)

What is Absorbency when it comes to matter?

• Some material soak up water, while others do not

• Examples of Absorbent are a sponge of paper towel

• Examples of Non Absorbent are plastic or metal

• Solids, liquids, and gases are states of matter.

• Strength, flexibility, hardness, texture, and absorbency are properties of matter!
