DRIPPY AND THE 3 STATES OF MATTER

This is Drippy. Drippy is a state of matter. He's currently a liquid. He also is made of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen.

Hi!

 H20 Liquid Form

Drippy wondered if he could ever change his state.

I wonder if I could change my state.

As a liquid, my

molecules are close together and always moving. This helps me take the shape of my container.

Suddenly...

Hey, what's this?

I'm going to jump on it.

Drippy NO!!!

NOOOOO!

WAIT YOUR STILL ALIVE!?

YOUR INVISIBLE!?

H20 Gaseous Form

I'm not invisible, I'm just a gas.

That means I'm made up of atoms held together by chemical bonds, so my molecules are able to move freely.

Did you know that I have a greater volume than my other forms?

How are you going to get back to a liquid?

I know what I need to do. I just need to get into a cloud.

Okay, I'm here.

WOW! did you just precipitate. (That means water forms from rain).

Okay, I'm back. I want to go into the freezer.

Brrrr!

HELP, IT'S COLD IN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARE YOU OKAY DRIPPY!?

Yes, I'm okay, I'm just

solidified. That means my molecules are tightly packed together in a fixed position.

While I'm stuck here, please talk to Henry. He will tell you about Properties of Matter.

Ok, see you later!

See you later too!

HENRY AND THE
PROPERTIES OF MATTER

Hello, my name is Henry. Today I will be teaching you properties of matter in a really FUN way.

Here is an experiment. First grab a magnet, a piece of cardboard, a marble, and a staple. Place all the items, (except the magnet) on one side and place the magnet on the other side. Then, as you start to scoot all the items towards the magnet, what do you notice?

That's right! The staple is the only item that is attracted to the magnet. The reason the staple "sprints" to the magnet is because it is metal which is magnetic.
