In order to smell, particles from the object must enter your nose. These particles are gas.
Solids, Liquids and Gases 02
Matter can exist in different forms. In KS2 Science, pupils explore solids, liquids, and gases, learning how heating and cooling change one state into another.

Fascinating Fact:
Scientists have discovered strange states of matter beyond solids, liquids, and gases, such as plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates.
In KS2 Science, pupils learn that the three main states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases. These states can change when energy is added or removed, like ice melting or water boiling.
Key Terms
Evaporation: The process where a liquid turns into a gas, often when heated.
Condensation: The process where a gas cools down and changes back into a liquid.
Plasma: A state of matter made of charged particles, found in stars and lightning.
Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)
What are the three main states of matter in KS2 Science?
The three main states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases. They differ in particle movement and arrangement.
Are there more states of matter beyond solid, liquid, and gas?
Yes, scientists have discovered other states like plasma and Bose-Einstein condensates, but these are not part of KS2 Science.
How do substances change between states of matter?
Substances change state when heated or cooled, for example melting ice to water or freezing water into ice.
