We see solids all around us.

They do not flow like water.
They can be big or small.

More About solid
Solids have been around for a long time. They are made of tiny parts called atoms. These atoms stick close together. This makes solids strong and hard.
We use solids every day. Our toys, books, and food are all solids. They help us in many ways.
In the future, we will find new solids. Some may be soft or light. Others may be very strong!
