• Material: a substance or
mixture of substances
that make up an object.
• Structure: form; shape
CHAPTER 2:
Materials and their structures
2.1 Solids, liquids, and gases
Key Words part 1
◦ Compressed: squeezed into a smaller
space ◦ Particles: very small pieces of matter
that everything is made up of
◦ Flow: (of a liquid or gas) to move
smoothly, to pour ◦ Pour: (of a liquid or gas) to move
smoothly, to flow
◦ Hypothesis: a suggestion for an
explanation
These states of matter have different behaviors, the ways they behave are called
properties.
Solids
1. Keep the same shape.
2. Take up the same amount of space. (Its
volume remains constant regardless of its
container or shape.)
3. Keep the same volume.
4. Cannot be compressed (squashed) or poured.

English Language Skills Workbook 7
Singular and plural verbs
◦ Verb: a word that describes an action or state.
◦ For other verbs, they have to agree with the person or objects you are talking about:
◦ For it, she, or he, you must put an –s or –es at the end of the verb.
◦ Note:
- For most verbs, we add -s to the base form, e.g. walk- walks
- When the verb ends in -ch, -ss, -sh, -x or -zz, we add –es, e.g. wash- washes
- When the verb ends in a consonant + -y we change y to i and add –es, e.g. study-
studies
- when the verb ends in a vowel + -y we add –s, e.g. enjoy- enjoys
◦ Note:
- The verb can be followed by a singular or plural noun, e.g.
He discovers a solution.
He discovers solutions.
Summary
Scientists look at what matter
does
◦ Some explanations of scientists about the matter behaviors:
◦ The idea of particles can be the best theory to explain how matter
behaves.
◦ The theory says that particles are arranged differently for different states of
matter.
Particle Theory
◦Solids:
1. Particles are arranged in a fixed pattern.
2. Are held together strongly and tightly.
3. They can vibrate (make small movements)
but in the same place.
◦ Liquids:
Solids:
The particles in a solid are very close together, for this
reason, it’s difficult for the volume of a solid to get smaller.
Note:
Solid cannot flow because the particles can only vibrate.
◦ Liquids:
( 蒸发 ) ( 状态变化 )
( 沸点 )
( 温度计 ) ( 半月板 )
Question?????
◦ Melting point: the point (temperature) at which materials change from a solid to a
liquid.
◦ Water Vapour: water in the gaseous ( 气态的 ) state that exists below its boiling point.
This process is called evaporation.
◦ If you heat water until its temperature reaches 100°C, it will boil.
◦ Steam: is water heated to the point that it turns into gas. 100°C is the boiling point of
water.
◦ Condensation: the change of the state of matter from the gas phase into the
liquid phase.
◦ Freezes: Freezing is the process when a liquid turns into a solid, e.g. if you put
liquid water in the freezer it becomes ice.
◦ Note:
When you read the temperature from the scale your eye must be in the level with the
top of the liquid.

Changes of state
◦ Heating Solids:
When solids are heated they get bigger
(expand), and heat energy is transferred
to the particles. The more energy they
get, the more they vibrate, so they take
up more space.
Note:
The forces are still strong enough for the particles to stay in touch with one another.
Boiling Liquids
When liquids are heated
◦ The particles in liquids touch each other.
◦ The particles are held together weakly.
◦ The particles move more as heat energy is
transferred to them.
