Some move quickly, like
milk or oil.
🧃 What is a liquid?
A liquid is something that you can pour, like water, milk, or juice.
Some liquids move slowly, like
honey or ketchup.
You can’t see air, but
you can feel it.
They spread out and fill all the space in
a room, a balloon, or any container.
Even though you don’t see it,
air helps things like a ribbon float or fly!
You can measure liquids with a
measuring cup to see how much space they take up.
💨 What is a gas?
A gas is also a kind of matter — like air!
Liquids don’t have their own shape —
they take the shape of the cup or bottle they are in.
The air we breathe is
made of gases.
It can
move, like the wind.
Gases don’t have their own
shape either.
It can feel
cold or hot.
