In Class we have been learning about the different states of matter. Their are four different types of matter solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. Solids are objects with definite shape and definite volume. Liquids are fluids with definite volume and has no shape of its own. Gases are fluids that can move freely, with no definite shape or volume. Finally, plasma is matter that is found commonly in stars in space.
We have done labs in class that connect to matter. A lab we have done is where we observed the changes in certain materials. We roasted marshmellows to demonstrate the physical changes. In the Candle Lab we saw how Carbon Dioxide(made with Alka Seltzer and water) can blow out a flame. In another lab, we saw physical changes because the smaller & thinner candle melted faster than the big & fatter candle. Finally, in the Sugar Lab we watched how the physical and chemical properties of the sugar were changed.
Finally, I learned that everything is made up of matter and that everything is impacted in a chemical or physical way.
