States of Matter โ€“ Solids, Liquids, Gases

Science ยท Grade 5 ยท Week 7 ยท 25 questions

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space โ€” and it exists in three main states: solid, liquid, and gas. Understanding the properties of matter is the foundation of both chemistry and physics.

What you'll practise

  • Find the mean of data sets
  • Describe properties of solids, liquids, and gases
  • Explain changes of state and why they occur
  • Distinguish between physical and chemical properties
