Properties of Solids
1. Have fixed shape and fixed volume:
- Doesn’t change shape or size in different containers.
2. Cannot be poured:
- Doesn’t flow like a liquid.
3. Cannot be compressed:
- Doesn’t become smaller when squashed.

Properties of Liquids
1. Fixed Volume:
- The amount of liquid doesn’t change.
2. No Fixed Shape:
- Liquids take the shape of the container.
3. Can be Poured:
- Liquids can flow.
4. Slightly compressible:
- Liquids can be compressed more than solids.

Science Project
1. Students will be divided into groups.
2. Each group will do a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION.
3. The topic is “ Solid, Liquid and Gases”.
4. The presentation must be at least 2 minutes long.

can sand flow like
liquid?
Properties of Gases
1. No Fixed Volume:
- Gases can expand to fit in a larger container.
- Gases can contract to fit in a smaller container.
2. No Fixed Shape:
- Gases take the shape of the container.
3. Can be Poured:
- Some heavy gases can be poured.
4. Can be compressed:
- Gases can be squashed easily.

Pool
More about Solids and Liquids
1. Pile:
- When a group of solids are not in a container, they make a pile.
E.g. A pile of sand.
2. Pool:
- When liquids are not in a container, they make a pool.
E.g. A pool of juice
Science Activity
1. Individually, students will categorize the items into the correct
column.
2. Time Limit: 10 mins
3. Students will be rewarded with the following:
- All answers correct – 1star
- 1 mistake = +4
- 2 or 3 mistakes = +3
- 4 or 5 mistakes = +2
- Between 6 and 8 mistakes = +1

Comparing Liquids
• Viscous
- Liquids that are thick and flow very slowly are called viscous
liquids.
- E.g. Honey, Oil, Syrup, Lotions, Shampoo and etc.
- The slower it flows, the more viscous the liquid is.

Temperature
- Temperature = how hot or cold something is.
- We use a thermometer to measure temperature.
- The unit for measuring temperature is degree Celsius

Changing States
• Melting
• Solid changing to liquid.
• E.g. Ice turning into water.
• Freezing
• Liquid turning to solid.
• E.g. Water turning into ice.
Changing States
• Evaporation
• Liquid changing to gas.
• E.g. Water turning into water vapor.
• Condensation
• Gas turning to liquid.
• E.g. Water vapor turning into water.
THURSDAY
• States of Water
• Water can exist in 3 states:
i) Solid (Ice)
ii) Liquid (Water)
iii) Gas (Water vapor or steam)
Condensation of Water
• On a cold surface, the air particles will change back into liquid
again.
• That is why you can find water droplets on windows, cold
bottles and on mirrors.

• Temperature of Water
• Ice melts at 0 •C (solid to liquid)
• Water freezes at 0 •C (liquid to solid)
• Water boils at 100 •C (liquid to gas)
Activity: Determine the state of water at each temperature.
For example: 5 degree Celsius: Liquid
A. 120 degree Celsius: __________
B. -7 degree Celsius: _________
C. 70 degree Celsius: _________
D. 2 degree Celsius: _________
