Changes of State: Liquid For Google Apps

Use this information with your students to learn about the change of state of a liquid. A liquid is a type of matter that has a definite volume, but not a definite shape. This means that a liquid can take on the shape of its container, but it always takes up the same amount of space. One of the unique properties of liquids is that they can change their state or phase from a liquid to a solid or a gas, and vice versa. This process is called a phase change, and it occurs when the temperature or pressure of the liquid is changed. The most common phase change for liquids is when they are heated and they change into a gas. This process is called evaporation. Another phase change for liquids is when they are cooled and they change into a solid. This process is called freezing. Overall, the state or phase of a liquid can be changed by altering its temperature or pressure. Understanding the properties of liquids and how they can change state is very important in day to
day living in our lives. There are questions at the end of the passage for students to complete.
