All are
STATES OF MATTER made of
ATOMS that are MOVING having
KINETIC and POTENTIAL ENERGY,
having MASS and TAKING UP
SPACE.
CANNOT BE CREATED OR
DESTROYED, but CAN CHANGE
FORM
MOLECULES VERY
FAR APART
EXPAND A LOT
WHEN HEATED
GAS AT ROOM

EASILY
COMPRESSED
CONFORMS TO

FILLS THE

MOLECULES
LOOSELY PACKED
EXPAND SOME
WHEN HEATED
CONFORMS TO
