Everything around us is made of matter. Matter has shape-shifting abilities that allow it to take the form of liquids, solids, and gasses. Students will examine different states of matter, as well as the processes that allow matter to transition between these states.

Curriculum links
| Matter | States of matter |
|---|---|
| Properties of matter: Everything is made of matter. Matter is made up of tiny particles and can exist in different forms. | Differences in states of matter: Differences in appearance, feel and behaviour of solids, liquids and gases. |
| Conservation of matter: Matter can change form but not be created or destroyed. | Particle theory: Particles are always moving. Their speed determines the state of the matter. |
| Changes in state | Buoyancy |
|---|---|
| Changes in states: Effect of temperature on states of matter. Processes of freezing, melting, evaporating and condensing. | Relative density and buoyancy: Effect of density on an object or liquid’s ability to float. |
