# SPS5: Phases of Matter

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare and contrast the phases of matter as they relate to atomic and molecular motion.

- Subject: Science
- Appears in: High School, https://georgiahomeroom.org/standards/science/high-school.md

## Expectations

- **SPS5.a**: Ask questions to compare and contrast models depicting the particle arrangement and motion in solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas.
- **SPS5.b**: Plan and carry out investigations to identify the relationships among temperature, pressure, volume, and density of gases in closed systems.

## Georgia Milestones coverage

No Georgia Milestones blueprint cites this standard.
