The Magic of Science Or the Science of Magic The three most common states of matter are liquid solid and gas The same matter can exist in all three states To change matter from one state to another we simply need energy liquid solid gas Take an ice cube It’s a solid Add energy in the form of heat and that solid becomes a liquid In this case it becomes water Add heat to the water and what happens We create gas or specifically steam 8
