 A Text A Day: Forms of Matter

Everything around you is made of matter.

Scientists group matter based on its properties, or
characteristics: what it looks like and how it acts
in different situations. Matter can take three
different forms. The three forms are solid, liquid,
and gas.
Solid matter has a definite shape. It also takes
up a definite amount of space. This means it has
a specific volume. If you could look at solid matter
under a very powerful microscope, you would see
its tiny particles moving back and forth. The
particles are packed together, so they vibrate in
place. Their overall shape does not change.
 Liquid matter takes the shape of its container.
When liquid is in a cup, it is shaped like the cup.
When the liquid is in a vase, it is shaped like the
vase. The volume of the liquid stays the same. If
you were to look at liquid matter under the
microscope, you would see its tiny particles
sliding past each other. Because of this unique
sliding movement, the liquid is able to change its
shape so we can pour it.
In the form of a gas, matter is usually invisible.
The air around us has several different gases, like
the oxygen we breathe in and the carbon dioxide
we breathe out. If you could look at gas matter
under the microscope, you would see its tiny
particles floating around with lots of space in

 The card catalog is a cabinet of
small drawers or file trays
containing alphabetically-arranged
cards of all the books and other
reference materials found in the
library. Each card bears the title of
