The Matter Song Let us sing: Chorus: Solid liquid and gas, three states of matter, they all have mass, solid liquid and gas, they all have mass A solid is firm, a solid is hard just like the rocks in your backyard. Liquid is wobbly, liquid is loose, just like water, milk or juice. A Gas is the trickiest one to me because gas is something that you cant see. Helium gas in your balloon makes it float around the road. (sing chorus).
