Use familiar samples under the stated conditions. A solid has its own shape, a liquid flows while keeping roughly the same volume, and a gas spreads to fill its available container. These are simplified models.

Worked example

An ice cube is solid water. After melting, liquid water takes the shape of the bottom of its container.

Three particle models: solid particles closely arranged in a fixed pattern, liquid particles close together without a fixed pattern, and gas particles spread through a container. Six dots appear in each schematic panel; scale and motion are simplified.
