Matter and States of Matter

2 DemosFor each of the two demos, make two observations and an inference about what is happening (left page).

Matter and States of Matter

Matter is anything that takes up space

Matter is everything around you. Matter is anything made of atoms

and molecules. Matter is anything that has mass

MATTER: anything that has mass and

takes up space

Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space

Matter and States of Matter

Matter comes in three main states (+ two other ones):SOLIDLIQUIDGAS

Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space

Solids, liquids, gases

Matter and States of Matter

States of Matter

What is volume?

Volume is how much space something takes up.

Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space

Solids, liquids, gases

Matter and States of Matter

States of Matter

Volume How much space matter takes up

In your notebook (left):Name some things that are solid

What are some characteristics of that all solids have?

Have a definite shape and volume The particles are tightly packed together

in a fixed position. Particles are not free to move very

much. Particles are moving but because they

are so tight, they seem to vibrate

Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space

Solids, liquids, gases

Matter and States of Matter

States of Matter

Volume How much space matter takes up

Solids Definite shape and volume-Particles tightly packed (compact)-Particles moving creates vibration

In your notebook (left):Name some things that are liquid

What are some characteristics of that all liquids have?

Have a definite volume but not shape Can take the shape of the container that

holds it. Still has the same volume because it

takes the same amount of space. Particles close together but are more

free to move in relation to each other.

Matter and States of Matter

Liquids Definite volume but not shape-Particles packed together but can move around-Liquids take shape of container

In your notebook (left):Name some things that are gases

What are some characteristics of that all gases have?

Have a NO definite shape or volume Particles are farther apart Particles move faster and more freely Particles tend to expand in all directions

Matter and States of Matter

Liquids Definite volume but not shape-Particles packed together but can move around-Liquids take shape of container

Gases NO definite volume or shape-Particles are far apart- Particles move and expand in all directions

Take 2 minutes to write a summaryMake sure to include the following:▪What are the 3 states of matter▪What are the particles doing in each state of matter
