What is... MATTER

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com What do a band-aid, golf ball, water bottle, and a granola bar have in common? They are all different types of matter! * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 2

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com NOT EVERYTHING IS MATTER! Things that do not have mass and do not take up their separate space are not considered matter. EXAMPLES of non-matter objects… Light, electricity, magnetism, sound, and heat * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 3

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com What is matter? Matter is everything that takes up space (volume) and has mass (the amount of matter something has). Examples of matter… * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 4

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com Properties of Matter All types of matter have certain Physical Properties. A property is any characteristic or quality that something has. Many of the properties of the matter can be measured. * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 6

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com Properties of Matter Size Mass Volume Temperature States (Solid, Liquid, and Gas) Magnetism Whether the object Sinks or Floats Scientists are able to use these measurable physical properties to describe and classify different kinds of matter. * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 7

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com Size Every piece of matter has it’s own size –how large or small it is. Size can be measured in length, width, and depth. Or it can be measured in mass or volume. Volume is how much space the object takes up. Relative size- is how large one piece of matter compares to another. When you compare a bowling ball and baseball, you know the bowling ball has more volume and mass than a baseball. Therefore, it’s relative size is greater. * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 8

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com Mass and Weight Mass is the amount of matter an object has. Scientists usually measure mass in Grams (g.) and Kilograms (kg.) Scientists use a pan balance or triple beam balance to measure mass http://www.ohaus.com/input/tutorials/tbb/TBBins.html http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=33 Weight is the force of attraction created by gravity. Our weight would change if we went to the moon or another planet. * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 9

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com Volume Volume is how much space a piece of matter takes up. For example: how much shampoo is in a bottle. Liquid Volume is measured in milliliters (mL) or liters (L). A liter is about the same size of a quart. A milliliter is about the size of a dropper. * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 10

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com Temperature Temperature is how hot or cold something is. Scientist measure temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit. Water freezes at 0°C and 32°F Water boils at 100°C and 212°F http://fs.sdsu.edu/pisces/WeatherKit/Lesson05.php#2 * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 11

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com States of Matter Each type of matter can exist in 3 states or form- as a solid, liquid, or gas. A gas has no definite shape. It’s particles move very fast and spread out in all directions. A solid has a definite shape and it’s particles are very close together. An ice cube and a rock are examples of solids A liquid will take the shape of whatever container it is in. It’s particles move around each other. * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 12

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com Magnetism Some pieces of matter are magnetic. A magnet is a piece of metal that attracts some metals such as iron, nickel, and steel. A magnet pulls objects made out of these metals towards it. Not all metals are magnetic. Tin, aluminum, copper, gold, and silver are some examples of non-magnetic metals. * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 13

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com Sink or Float Another property of matter is whether it will sink or float in water. This is known as buoyancy. An object will sink if its weight is greater than the water. This is called displacement. This is when the water pushes up. An example of displacement is when you get in the bath and the water level moves up. * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 14

Free Template from www.brainybetty.com Let's make a FOLDABLE SIZE- How large or small an object is. Mass/Weight- http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/weight.html Mass- How much matter is in an object (grams (g) and kilograms (kg)) Weight- The pull of gravity on an object. Volume- The amount of space an object takes up. Temperature- How hot or cold something is (Celcius or Fahrenheit) States of Matter- Solid, Liquid, or Gas. Magnetism- Is it attracted to a magnet? Buoyancy- Does the object sink or float? Draw examples for each property of matter * Free Template from www.brainybetty.com 15
