Concept Map

Organise the vocabulary, quantities and relationships into a connected model.

This extension applies that lens specifically to The Three States of Matter.

Everything around you — a brick, your juice, the air you breathe — is made of matter. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.

Matter comes in three states, and we tell them apart by how they behave:

  • Solid: keeps its own shape and its own size. A brick stays a brick whether it is on the ground or in a box.
  • Liquid: takes the shape of its container but keeps the same amount. You can pour it. Juice poured from a bottle into a glass takes the glass's shape.
  • Gas: spreads out to fill the whole container, with no fixed shape or size. The air pumped into a soccer ball fills every part of it.
