1. The Properties of Matter

2. Characteristic vs. Non characteristic properties
A characteristic property is something that is specific to that substance. (i.e. Density, melting point, boiling point)
Non-characteristic properties are common to many substances. (i.e. states of matter, temperature, volume, mass, acidity and alkalinity)

3. Brainstorm
With a partner write down 2 examples of characteristic properties of a substance and/or material.
And...
4 examples of non-characteristic properties
I will give you 10 minutes to write down your answers and then I will randomly pick a few pairs to discuss their answers.

4. Terminology States of matter : (solid, liquid or gas)
Mass : the quantity of matter of the substance
Volume: the space that matter occupies
Temperature: quantity of heat an object or matter contains
Acidity and alkalinity : determines whether a substance is an acid, a base or neutral in its chemical composition.

5. Properties of matter

6. States of Matter Solids:
- Particles held tightly together by chemical bonds
- Particles cannot move freely. Only vibrate

7. States of Matter Liquids:
- Particles held weakly together (compared to solids)
- Particles can move slightly with respect to each other.

8. States of Matter Gases: - Particles are far apart from each other.
- Particles move freely

9. Particle Theory
Matter is composed of particles that are invisible to the naked eye.

10. UNITS Metre : (m)  Length Kilogram : (kg)  mass Gram : (g)  mass
Second: (s)  time
Litre (L)  volume
Millilitre (mL)  volume
Cubic centimetre cm3

11. Volume
Definition: the magnitude of the three-dimensional space enclosed within or occupied by an object, geometric solid, etc. 

13. Brainstorm
With a partner brainstorm 5 reasons of why it is important to measure the volume of various substances and/or materials. I will give you 10 minutes to write down your 5 reasons then I will pick randomly a few pairs to discuss their answers.
