Today, I'm going to...

• know about the three states of matter,
• be able to describe the properties and structures of solids, liquids, and gases, and
• understand why liquids and gases are fluids.

• I can name the three states of matter.
• I can give examples of the three states of matter that are important to me.
• I can describe the three states of matter and their differences in physical properties.

I am successful if...
