solids and liquids have a definite shape but gases don’t because they a,ways take on the shape of the container they are in
do solids, liquids and gases each have a high or low density (how heavy something is for its size)
solids usually have a high density, liquids have a medium density and gases have a very low density
are solids, liquids and gases easily or not easily squashed (compressibility)
solids and liquids are not easily squashed but gases are easily squashed
do solids, liquids and gases flow easily or not
solids don’t flow but liquids and gases both flow easily
