📖 1 of 2

Matter can change between three main states: solid, liquid, and gas. These changes happen when temperature or pressure changes. For example, when you heat ice, it melts and becomes water, a liquid. If you keep heating the water, it can turn into steam, which is a gas. On the other hand, if you cool steam, it can condense back into water. These changes are called melting, boiling, and condensation.
