Dear 6th Grade Scientists,
We have been learning about matter in our science class. We read that there are four physical forms of matter which include solids, liquids, gases, and plasma.
In this blog assignment, you will each be assigned one form of matter. In your post, you are to include the following:
1. A brief (2-3 sentences) description of the
type of matter you were assigned.
2. At least two examples of that type of matter.
3. At least one picture of that type of matter.
4. At least one question that you have about matter.
Feel free to do more than asked of you!
You may use, but are not limited to, the following websites for information on matter:
NYU- Matter
Chem for Kids- Matter
NEO- Matter

A liquid is a fluid that takes the shape of the container it is in. The shape is not definite, but rather depends on the shape of the container it is held in. When a solid is heated above its melting point, it becomes a liquid. The highest temperature that a liquid can exist at is called its critical temperature.
