Overview
Everything around us is made up of matter. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. In this chapter, we learn that matter exists in three main states: solids, liquids, and gases. Each state has its own special properties based on how its tiny particles (called molecules) are arranged. We
Key Concepts
Matter exists in three forms
Matter exists in three forms: solids (like ice), liquids (like water), and gases (like steam). The arrangement and movement of molecules differ in eac
When matter is heated or cooled
When matter is heated or cooled, it can change its state. For example, ice (solid) melts into water (liquid) when heated, and water evaporates into st
Air is a mixture of gases
Air is a mixture of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapour. It has weight, occupies space, and exerts pressure.
During the day
During the day, land heats up faster than the sea, causing cool air from the sea to move towards land (sea breeze). At night, land cools faster, so ai
In summer
In summer, hot air over land rises and moist air from oceans rushes in, causing monsoon rains. Ventilation allows fresh air to enter rooms by replacin
