States of Matter Worksheet

1) The document is a worksheet about states of matter that provides vocabulary terms and questions to test understanding. 2) The questions define key terms like mass, matter, volume and ask students to identify properties of the three common states of matter - solid, liquid, gas. For example, that solids have a fixed volume and shape while liquids and gases do not. 3) The kinetic molecular theory is introduced to explain how energy and particle movement relate to changes in states of matter, such as ice melting due to increased energy causing particles to move faster.
