How can matter be described?

Learning Objectives I will know how to classify matter based on physical

properties, including mass, magnetism, and density.

Matter

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

Properties of Matter

made of tiny parts

MassThe amount of matter in a solid, liquid, or gas is called its mass.

Volume

The amount of space an object takes up is its volume.

What are solids, liquids, and gases?

Learning Objectives I will know how to classify matter based on its physical

state as a solid, liquid, or a gas. I will know the boiling point, freezing point, and melting

point of water in Celsius degrees.

What are mixtures and solutions?

Learning Objectives I will know how to classify matter based on its solubility in

water. I will know that some mixtures keep the physical

properties of their ingredients. I will know that changes can occur in the physical

properties of the ingredients in a solution.

Mixture or Solution?

What are you havingfor breakfast?

That sounds good, but I likedifferent fruits in my cereal.

I am having orange juiceand corn flakes with

raisins, strawberries, andmilk added to it.

How much fruit do like in your cereal?

Mixtures

A mixture is a combination of materials that are not chemically combined.

Separating Mixtures

You can use the physical properties of a substance toseparate it from a mixture.

Mixture

How can you separate?

strainer magnet by hand

Solutions and Solubility
