1. The Stuff that things are made of

2. MATTER
What do all of these things have in common?

3. MATTER Matter is anything that has MASS and takes up SPACE
Scientists usually measure mass like weight
However: Weight differs on different planets, but mass stays the same- why?

4. Elements Matter can be broken down into groups called elements.
Elements are PURE substances.
They are substances that cannot be broken down into anything else by chemical means.
In other words- the simplest ingredients possible on earth to make other things

5. Elements
Elements have specific properties. (which means elements act certain ways- specific mass, specific reactions
Examples: Gold, Aluminum, Copper, Oxygen, Helium, Potassium, Tin, Silver, Neon

6. Atoms
The Smallest Unit of an element of matter that can still retain its properties as that element
In other words- IT is the smallest piece possible of an element

8. NUCLEUS

10. PROTON (+)

11. NEUTRON (0)

12. ELECTRON (-)

13. Atoms PROTONS (+) NUCLEUS NEUTRONS (0) ELECTRONS (-)
# of PROTONS=ELECTRONS
Change the protons change the atom
Change the electrons change the charge

14. Elements and the periodic table

15. DAY 2 VOCABULARY
Molecules and Compounds

16. Molecules Two or more atoms bonded together
They can be the same, or they can be different
Remember Bill Nye said Atoms are like the letters, while molecules are like the words.

17. MOLECULE
We represent ATOMS as either a single capital letter or a Capital letter and a lowercase letter.
Oxygen = O --- Lithium = Li
Molecules are when we put these letters together.
EXAMPLE: + = + =
Hydrogen
molecule
Water
molecule

18. Compounds Two or more atoms bonded together.
But the atoms that are bonded MUST be different kinds or atoms.
All COMPOUNDS are molecules, but not all MOLECULES are compounds.

19. Molecules and Compounds
ICE CREAM ANALOGY
BASKIN ROBINS 31 flavors
Flavors- elements
Smallest serving= 1 scoop its like 1 atom
2 + scoops = molecule
2 different flavored scoops a compound

20. Element Molecule or Compound?
Make a T chart like below and put the correct symbols in the correct column.
Element
Molecule
Compound
Li Br
OH-
CO2 H2O O2 He
H2 C6H12O6

21. Atom/ Element /Molecule activity
1 person out straight= element
1 person in ball = atom
2 or more people= molecule
2 or more people but there must be a boy and a girl= compound

22. Day 3 Vocabulary
Phases of Matter

23. The Phases of Matter
Remember Matter is everything! /anything that has mass ( a specific amount of atoms) and takes up space
We usually find matter in three forms on earth (although scientists now believe there are 5 forms)
The phases of matter are the different forms you can find matter in on earth.

24. Solids
The state of matter that has definite shape and definite volume. (They are fixed, they don’t change).
The atoms and particles in a solid are very close together. Here the attractions are the strongest

25. Liquids
The state of matter where there is definite volume but not a definite shape.
The particles in liquid slide past each other so the attractions aren’t as strong.
LIQUIDS TAKE THE SHAPE OF THEIR CONTAINERS

26. Gases
The state of matter where the matter has no definite shape, or definite volume.
The particles move so quickly they can break away from each other there is less attraction.
Gases may also take the shape of their container, but the particles also can spread out

27. Phase of Matter
Definite Shape
Definite Volume
Takes Shape of Container
Fastest moving molecules
Solid
Liquid
Gas

28. ↯ Phase of Matter Definite Shape Definite Volume
Takes Shape of Container
Fastest moving molecules

Liquid
Gas

29. Day 4 Vocabulary
GUESS WHAT?!!!! IT”S FINALLY
LAB DAY!!!!!!!!!

30. Measuring Matter
MATTER is what????
TAKES UP SPACE
HAS MASS

31. Mass A measure of the amount of matter or stuff inside and an object
We usually measure mass as weight. It changes with gravity

32. Volume The amount of SPACE that something occupies.
We measure volume by using multiplication
Length of an object X Height of object x Width of the object = L x W x H
If we cannot use a ruler to get a very accurate reading we use the water displacement method to tell us the volume.

33. Day 5 Vocabulary
Measuring continued

34. Density
A ratio of how much mass is in an object compared to how much space it takes up
Ratios are represented as fractions
M__ V
