Matter Matters
A look into what EVERYTHING is made of!

2. Meanings Matter - Anything that has mass and takes up space
Mass - the amount of matter an object has

3. Mass vs. Weight Weight Mass - the amount of matter in an object
- use balances to measure
- measure in grams/kilograms
- not dependent on size; dependent on
matter (density)
- remains constant (same on Earth as Moon)
doesn't depend on surroundings
EX. bowling ball and soccer ball
(same size; bowling ball has more mass)
Weight
- the force of gravity acting on an object
- use scales to measure
- measure in Newtons/pounds and ounces
- CAN change with location
- More gravity = More weight
EX. bowling ball on Earth weighs more
than on the Moon
(more gravity on Earth than Moon)

4. The Three States of Matter
SOLIDS
* particles packed together tightly
* vibrate in place
* does not take the shape of container
LIQUIDS
* particles packed loosely together
* particles slip and slide past one another
* takes the shape of its container
GASES
* particles are far apart from each other
* particles move quickly
* takes the shape of its container
