What is Matter? Add matter to your table of contents. Turn to next clean page. Label MATTER at the top.

matter Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter

atom The smallest particle of matter

nucleus The dense area in the center of an atom. Inside the nucleus of every atom are smaller particles called protons, electrons, and neutrons.

molecule A molecule is made up to two or more atoms joined together. Water is a molecule made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

How do you identify matter? We identify matter by its properties –How it tastes, looks, and feels –Its size, shape, and color

How do you measure matter? Mass- a measure of the amount of matter in an object Volume- how much space a sample of matter takes up. EX- a golf ball and a balloon…. –A golf ball has more mass because if you put it on a balance scale with a balloon, the golf ball side would tip more. But a BALLOON has more volume because it takes up more space.

What is the difference between Mass and Weight? Mass- A measure of how much matter an object has Weight- is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter. EX: if you were to travel to the moon your weight would change because the pull of gravity is weaker there than on Earth but, your mass would stay the same because you are still made up of the same amount of matter

volume The amount of space an object takes up Another word for volume is capacity

Density- Density is an object’s mass divided by volume –D= m/v Density refers to how closely packed molecules of matter are

States of Matter The Three States of Matter Three States  Solid  Liquid  Gas Chumbler - Properties of Matter11

Solid Has a fixed shape Has a fixed volume Particles are arranged in a tight, regular pattern Particles move very little

Examples of Solids are Ice Frog Cheese Bricks Wood Popcicle

States of Matter Solids Particle Movement Examples Chumbler - Properties of Matter14

Check out the Following Site on Solids :Solids

Liquid Has no fixed shape Has a fixed volume Particles move past one another easily Particles are fairly close, but not in a neat even arrangement as the particles in a solid are

Examples of Liquids are Orange Juice Water Soft drinks Milk Rubbing Alcohol Vinegar

States of Matter Liquids Particle Movement Examples Chumbler - Properties of Matter18

Check out the following Site on Liquids :Liquids

Gas Has no fixed shape Has no fixed volume Made of particles that move rapidly The particles also have large spaces between them in comparison to solids and liquids

Examples of Gases are Steam Oxygen Carbon dioxide Smog Tear Gas Helium

NOTES Matter- Anything that has mass and takes up space. The smallest part of matter is called the ATOM. Identify matter by properties: size, color, shape, how it tastes looks, and feels How We Measure Matter: Mass- amount of matter in an object Volume- How much SPACE an object takes up Density- How closely packed the atoms are in a sample of matter Write these notes at the top of your page

NOTES Take your 3 folded cut outs- (solid, liquid and gas) and glue them to the BOTTOM of your journal page Gas Solid Liquid

SolidLiquidGas Has a definite shape Takes on shape of container Does not have definite shape Particles are close together and move slowly Particles are farther apart and faster moving Particles are farthest apart and move rapidly Has fixed volume Expands to take up whatever space is available Add these to the inside of each foldable
