Matter

• Matter is anything that takes up space.
• Every object that takes up space is made of
  matter.

3
What Makes Up Matter?

• Matter is made of tiny particles you cannot see
  called atoms.
• These atoms join together to form bigger
  particles of matter.
• These larger particles join together to form the
  matter that you can see.

4
Examples of Matter

• A book is matter.
• Steam is matter.
• We are matter.

5
Physical Properties of Matter

• How it looks dull, colorful, bright, shiny,
  small. . .
• How it feels soft, hard, fuzzy, smooth, rough.
  . .
• How it smells sweet, horrible, no smell. . .
• How it sounds loud, soft, no sound. . .
• What it does sticks, freezes, bounces, rips,
  breaks. . .

States of Matter

• Solid
• Liquid
• Gas

SOLID

• A solid has definite shape and does not lose its
  shape.
• A solids a solid.
• It doesnt change shape.
• It cant move around
• It stays in one place.
• Your desk is a solid
• And so is your chair.
• Just look in your classroom
• Wow! Theyre everywhere!

LIQUID

• A liquid takes the shape of any container. It
  can change shape in different containers.
• A liquid moves smoothly.
• We say that it flows
• From one place to another
• How quickly it goes!
• We know that most liquids
• Are easy to see.
• With no shape of their own,
• Theyre not like you and me.

GAS

• A gas does not have a definite shape and takes up
  all space in a container.
• Air is a gas.
• We cant see it, thats true
• But often we feel it
• In things that we do.
• It keeps up a kite.
• Air fills up a bubble.
• Without it to breathe,
• We would be in BIG trouble.

Measuring Matter

• A thermometer is used to measure the temperature
  of matter.

11
Mass

• Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
• A balance is used to measure mass.

12
Magnification

• We magnify objects to see what smaller parts make
  up the object.

13
MATTER

• Matter is everywhere.
• Matter is made of smaller particles joined
  together.
• Physical properties of matter are how it looks,
  feels, sounds, smells, and what it does.
• Matter can be measured.
• Some matter can change shape.
