When we look at how liquids and gases behave, we see some interesting differences!

Flow Behavior of Liquids:

• Liquids have a set amount of space they take up, but they change shape to fit their container. This makes them flow easily.
• For instance, when you pour water, it flows smoothly and fills the glass. The tiny particles in the water are close enough to touch each other, but they can still slide around.

Compressibility of Gases:

• Gases are very different. They can be squished down and will fill any space they are in.
• Think about blowing up a balloon. It gets bigger because the air inside can be pushed together. If you press on the balloon, you can make it smaller much more than you could with a liquid.

In short, liquids flow but are somewhat limited by how their particles are arranged. Gases can be squished and change shape a lot, showing just how unique they are in the world of science!
