MATTER MODEL STEPS
States of Matter for Water
1. Solid Ice:
-distance between molecules: little farther apart than liquid water
-temperature below 32 degrees F
-strongest force between molecules
-molecules are held in place
2. Liquid Water
-distance between molecules: little closer than solid ice.
-temperature between 32 - 212 degree F
-medium strength force between molecules
-molecules squirm around each other
3. Water Vapor
-distance between molecules:a lot farther apart than solid or liquid
-temperature above 212 degree F
-weakest strength force between molecules
-molecules float around freely
4 Heating and Cooling
-can change a state of matter
-heating speeds up molecules
-cooling slows down molecules
