| Have your 6th graders read this passage and answer the questions on the next page. How much did they comprehend what they read? A solid is a state of matter in which particles are closely packed together. The particles are arranged in an orderly fashion and are held in place by strong forces. Solids are the most stable state of matter. A liquid is a state of matter in which particles are more loosely packed together than in a solid and are free to move past each other. They are still held together by forces, and the particles can move around each other but not too far apart. A gas is a state of matter in which the particles are even more loosely packed together than in a liquid. The particles are free to move in any direction and are not held together by any forces. *Gasoline should not be confused with the state of matter gas, gasoline is actually a liquid. | |||||
