Short Constructed Response

A balloon is filled with air. Explain why the air changes shape to fit the balloon.

Three containers hold matter. Match the container with word.

• Liquid

• • Container A: Particles are tightly packed in a regular pattern

• Solid

• • Container C: Particles are far apart and spread throughout the container

• Gas

• Container B: Particles are close together but not in a regular pattern
