• Matter is a substance that has mass and occupies
  physical space.
• Matter has four phases.

Solid Facts

• Solid is a state of matter characterized by a
  definite volume and a definite shape.
• Solids are dense, they resist deformation.
• Solids dont flow easily.
• Solids dont evaporate.

• My example for a solid is a person

• My example for a solid is a person.

Liquid Facts

• A liquid is a fluid whose shape is usually
  determined by the container it fills.
• Does not have a definite volume.
• Liquids flow easily.
• Liquids volume decreases when temperature is
  increased.

Gas Facts

• Gas is a phase of matter in which molecules are
  widely separated and move around freely at high
  speeds.
• Gases dont have a definite volume
• Gases are easy to compress
• Gases expand to fill their containers.

Plasma Facts

• Plasma is a low density gas in which the
  individual atoms are ionized and therefore
  charged.
• Plasma is an extremely hot gas.
• Plasma is commonly found in space but is also
  found on Earth.
• A plasma conducts electrical currents.

• My example of plasma is a plasma screen TV.
