    Study Notes

    Properties of Matter

    • Matter has mass and occupies space.
    • Composed of small, constantly moving particles called atoms.
    • Atoms are the basic units of matter; molecules form when atoms chemically bond.

    Phases of Matter

    • Solid:
      • Definite shape and volume.
      • Particles closely arranged, can only vibrate.
    • Liquid:
      • Definite volume, takes the shape of its container.
      • Nonuniform arrangement of particles with spaces between.
    • Gas:
      • No definite shape or volume.
      • Particles are spaced farther apart compared to their sizes.

    Matter Classification

    • Examples of Matter:
      • Mercury (Element) - Liquid
      • Rubbing Alcohol (Mixture) - Liquid
      • Aspirin (Compound) - Solid
      • Air (Mixture) - Gas
      • Cologne (Mixture) - Liquid
      • Brass (Mixture) - Solid

    Changes in Matter

    • Physical Change:
      • Initial composition remains unchanged.
      • Example: Freezing water into ice, melting ice cream.
    • Chemical Change:
      • Composition altered, forming new substances.
      • Example: Frying meat, burning wood.

    Experiment Overview

    • Materials needed: Baking soda, vinegar, bottle, funnel, balloon, tablespoon.
    • Procedure involves mixing baking soda with vinegar using a balloon to capture gas released during the reaction.

    Observations and Conclusions

    • Observe changes in balloon size as gas is produced from the reaction.
    • Identify signs of chemical change during the experiment.
    • Importance of responsible resource use and minimizing waste in scientific work.

    Learning Objectives

    • Explain properties of solid, liquid, and gas.
    • Demonstrate a simple experiment showing a change of state.
    • Promote responsible use of resources and materials in experiments.
