Matter: Everything that takes up space — solids, liquids, and gases.
Solid: A state of matter with a fixed shape that does not flow — like a rock or ice cube.
Liquid: A state of matter that flows and takes the shape of its container — like water.
Gas: A state of matter that spreads out to fill any space — like air or steam.
Melt: To change from solid to liquid when heated — like ice melting into water.
Freeze: To change from liquid to solid when cooled — like water turning into ice.
Evaporate: To change from liquid to gas — like puddle water disappearing on a sunny day.
Condense: To change from gas to liquid — like water drops forming on a cold glass.
Steam: Water in its gas state — formed when water boils.
Ice: Water in its solid state — water that has been frozen.
Volume: The amount of space that matter takes up.
Shape: The form or outline of an object — solids keep their shape, liquids and gases do not.
