matter?

What is matter?-Matter is anything that has volume and mass.

What is mass?The amount of ‘stuff’ inside matter.

What is volume?The space that matter occupies. It can be equal to length x width x volume.

Page 3: What’s the matter with matter?

Let’s talk about mass…

Which has more mass, a brick or a pillow?

Which has more ‘stuff’ in it?

A triple beam balance is used to measure mass.

Page 4: What’s the matter with matter?

Let’s talk about volume…

Volume is the “size” of space the object takes up!

This balloon is huge! It takes up a lot of space!

This cute puppy is small! It

does not take up a lot of

space…

Matter

has mass….

Occupies space….

All of these are examples of matter… Why?

All of matter are made up of tiny particles called atoms…

-Atoms are of different kinds.-No one has seen an atom

but because of the way matter ‘behaves,’ scientists know that atoms exist.

-Examples of atoms are Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), and Carbon (C).

-These atoms differ in mass and size.

Ink diffuses in water because it consists of tiny particles that

move!

Page 8: What’s the matter with matter?

When atoms combine, molecules are formed. These combinations

happen during a chemical reaction.

Examples of Molecules….

Oxygen (O2) is the gas we all breathe. It consists of two Oxygen atoms bonded together.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas plants use to make food. It consists of two Oxygen atoms bonded to a Carbon atom.

Methane (CH4) is a gas we use as fuel. It consists of four Hydrogen atoms bonded to a Carbon atom.

Molecules come in different shapes and sizes!

Salt (NaCl) occurs as a crystal. Its particles are organized into

well-arranged patterns.

Starch is made up of long molecules with thousands of C, H, and O atoms linked together!

1) Matter is all around us, it is anything that has mass and occupies space.

2) Mass is the stuff making up matter, volume is the space that matter occupies.

3) All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms.

4) Atoms can combine to form molecules. Examples are water (H2O), salt (NaCl), carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2).

5) Scientists have used such technology as ‘electron microscopy’ to look at atoms and molecules.

6) Molecules come in all shapes and sizes. Some are crystalline.
