As a Matter of Fact
We have been talking about density of matter for about a month and you seem to have a grasp of what density is. What exactly is matter though? Empedocles, a Greek philosopher first proposed four states of matter: water, fire, earth, air. Today, our understanding of matter has changed with the help of Aristolte, Democritus, Priestley, Bernoulli, Lavoisier, Dalton and others.
What are the 4 common phases of matter and explain 2 things you know about each phase? Attempt to explain in a well written paragraph using your own words and without doing much research. Submit this online. This is due October 15th. If you want to read more about this, check it out on visionlearning or check out the reading on week 8 of Blackboard.
