3. What is Matter Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
It is the “stuff” that makes up everything in the universe.
Can be a solid, liquid or gas
Everything around you is made up of matter. Chocolate cake is made up of matter. You are made of matter.
Air is matter. Even though it is invisible, you know it is there when you feel a breeze or watch the trees bend from it. (balloon demo)

4. Matter Takes up Space
Volume is the amount of space an object occupies or takes up.
Because matter has volume (takes up space), it cannot share the same space with something else at the same time!
All objects take up space. You are taking up space on the chair.
**Occupying space demos with cup of water, marbles, bucket of water and crumpled piece of paper, balloon in a bottle

5. Measuring Volume Volume of liquids: Use a graduated cylinder
Units: liters (L) or milliliters (mL)
Show how to measure volume of liquid with demo!

6. Measuring Volume Volume of Solids:
Volume of a Normal Shaped Solid Object:
Use math!
Volume= length (l) x width (w) x height (h)
Volume of a Weird Shaped Solid Object
Put it in water!
Measure the change in water

7. Practice with Volume! What is the volume of this thing?
What is the volume of this box?
h = 2 cm
l = 5 cm
w = 1 cm
Volume = l x w x h
5 x 1 x 2 = 10 cm

8. Matter Has Mass Mass is how much there is of an object
The heavier the object the greater its mass
Think of massive- what does that mean? (big, huge) bigger/heavier = more mass!

9. Difference Between mass and Weight
The amount of matter in an object
Does not change with location
Weight =
The pull of gravity on an object
Changes depending on where you are
The more mass an object has, the greater the gravitational force on the object and the greater the object’s weight.

10. Measuring Mass and Weight
Use a triple beam balance
Units: gram (g), kilogram (kg), milligram (mg)
Weight:
Use a spring scale
Units: Newton (N)
The more gram crackers you eat the more mass you have!
