Anything that has a mass and a volume

Changing from one state to another is a Physical Change. If a new substance is formed it is a Chemical Change. Images are from

The building blocks of Matter Consists of Protons (+), Electrons (-), and Neutrons (N). Consists of only one kind of atom, Cannot be broken down into a simpler type of matter by either physical or chemical means Can exist as either atoms or molecules. Images are from

A molecule consists of two or more atoms of the same element, or different elements, that are chemically bound together. In the animation above, two nitrogen atoms (N + N = N2) make one Nitrogen molecule.

Animated images and notes from Atoms of two or more different elements bound together. Can be separated into elements chemically, but not physically. In the animation above, water (H 2 0) is a compound made of Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Solutions are groups of molecules that are mixed up in a completely even distribution. Uniform Distribution. Example: Sugar and Water Images are from

The substance to be dissolved. The one doing the dissolving. Images are from

Particle sizes are in between the size of particles found in solutions and suspensions. Can be mixed and remain evenly distributed without settling out.

They are substances held together by physical forces, not chemical. Can be separated physically. Solutions are also mixtures. The substances are not uniformly mixed. Example: Sand in a glass of water. Images are from

Are heterogeneous mixtures consisting of parts that are visible to the naked eye. Example: the ingredients in salad dressing Substances will settle over time.

THE THREE STATES OF MATTER By: Mary Beth Masters Wise Primary School

What is matter? Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

Properties of Matter How It Looks (Shiny,Dull, Color, etc.) How It Feels (Hard, Soft, Rough, Smooth, etc.) How It Smells (Sweet, Sharp, Terrible, No Smell, etc.) How It Sounds (Loud, Soft, Echo, No Sound, etc.) What It Does (Bounce, Stretch, Tear, Break, Magnetism etc.)

SOLIDS

SOLID A solid is matter that has that has definite size and shape. Example: Put a sneaker in a box. It stays the same.

Liquids

LIQUID A liquid takes the shape of any container. Example: Pour juice into a glass. The juice will take on the shape of the glass.

GAS

Gas Gas is matter that has no definite shape. Gases take the shape of whatever container they are in. Example: The air all around us is a gas.

Physical changes in matter A Physical change is a change in how matter looks, but not the kind of matter is it is. Tear Cut Folded Written Liquid Solid Gas Mixture Solution

PHYSICAL CHANGES

Chemical changes in matter New Matter is formed. ▫Burning ▫Rusting ▫Cooking

CHEMICAL CHANGES

Is this a solid, a liquid, or a gas? Can you find more than one type of matter in any of the pictures?

Is this a physical change or a chemical change? Can you find more than one physical or chemical change in the pictures?
