Study Notes
Matter
- Matter is anything with mass and occupies space.
- Matter can be very small, even invisible.
- Everything is made of matter.
- Two important properties of matter are mass and volume.
Mass
- Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.
- Heavier objects have more mass.
- You can use a lever balance to compare the mass of objects.
Volume
- Volume refers to the space an object takes up.
- Objects occupy space and cannot share the same space with other objects.
- You can see the volume of matter by observing how it displaces water when placed in a container filled with water.
- For example, if you drop a pebble into a full glass of water, some water spills out because the pebble occupies space.
Air and Water are Matter
- Air and water are also made of matter.
- Air and water have mass and occupy space.
- You can demonstrate the mass of air by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated balloon on a lever balance. The inflated balloon is heavier because it contains air.
Understanding Matter
- Shadows, heat, and light are not considered matter because they have no mass and do not take up space.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solids
- Solids have a fixed shape.
- Solids do not flow.
Liquids
- Liquids do not have a fixed shape.
- Liquids flow and take the shape of their container.
Gases
- Gases do not have a fixed shape.
- Gases flow easily and fill up all available space in their container.
Matter
- Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
- Matter can be small or invisible.
Mass
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
- Mass is measured using a lever balance.
- The heavier the object, the more mass it has.
Volume
- Volume is the amount of space an object occupies.
- Volume is demonstrated when a pebble displaces water in a glass.
- Objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time.
Air and Water are Matter
- Air and water have mass and occupy space.
- Water in a measuring mug has volume.
- Air in an inflated balloon has mass and volume.
Not Matter
- Shadows are not matter because they don't have mass or occupy space.
- Heat and light are not matter because they don't have mass or occupy space.
States of Matter
- There are three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solids
- Solids have a fixed shape.
- Solids do not flow.
Liquids
- Liquids do not have a fixed shape.
- Liquids flow and take the shape of their container.
Gases
- Gases do not have a fixed shape.
- Gases flow easily and fill up all the space available in a container.
Matter
- Anything that has mass and takes up space.
- Can be very small and sometimes invisible.
- Two key properties: mass and volume.
Mass
- Amount of matter in an object.
- Measured using a lever balance.
- The side of the balance with more mass tilts down.
- Objects with more mass are heavier.
Volume
- The amount of space an object occupies.
- Measured by how much water is displaced when an object is dropped into a full container.
- Objects occupy space, meaning they cannot exist in the same space as another object.
Air and Water are Matter
- They have mass and occupy space.
- Water in a measuring mug takes up space, illustrating volume.
- Air fills balloons, giving them mass and volume.
States of Matter
- Three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solids
- Fixed shape.
- Do not flow.
Liquids
- No fixed shape.
- Flow and take the shape of the container.
Gases
- No fixed shape.
- Flow easily and fill all available space in a container.
Matter
- Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter.
- Matter can be very small, sometimes invisible.
- Everything is made of matter.
- Matter has two properties: mass and volume.
Mass
- The amount of matter that an object contains is called its mass.
- All matter has mass.
- A heavier object has more mass than a lighter object.
Volume
- The amount of space that a thing or an object occupies is called its volume.
- Matter occupies space.
- When an object is placed in a container filled with water, the water level rises, indicating that the object occupies the space previously occupied by the water.
Air and Water as Matter
- Air and water are also made of matter because they have mass and occupy space.
- Air has mass and volume, hence it is made of matter.
- A shadow does not have mass and does not occupy space, therefore, it is not matter.
- Heat and light do not have mass and they do not occupy space. They are not matter.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solids
- Have a fixed shape.
- Do not flow.
Liquids
- Do not have a fixed shape.
- Flow and take the shape of the container.
Gases
- Do not have a fixed shape.
- Flow easily and fill up all the space available in a container.
Matter
- Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
- Matter can be very small, sometimes invisible.
- Everything is made of matter.
Mass
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
- The more mass an object has, the heavier it is.
- Mass is measured using a balance scale.
- A balance scale tilts to the side of the heavier object.
- Mass does not change when the shape of an object changes.
Volume
- Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.
- Volume is measured in units like liters or milliliters.
- Objects have a fixed volume.
- Objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time.
Air and Water
- Air and water are both made of matter.
- Air takes up space and has mass, as shown by the inflated balloon being heavier than the deflated balloon.
- Water takes up space and has mass, as shown by the water level rising when an object is dropped in.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Solids have a fixed shape and do not flow.
- Liquids do not have a fixed shape, flow, and take the shape of their container.
- Gases do not have a fixed shape, flow easily, and fill up all the space available in a container.
Examples
- Skating shoes are heavier than shuttlecocks because they are made of different materials and have different masses.
- A tennis ball has more mass than a wool ball even though it is smaller.
- A pebble dropped into a full glass of water causes some of the water to overflow because the pebble has a volume that displaces the water.
- A deflated balloon has less mass than an inflated balloon because the balloon has been filled with air.
- A shadow is not matter because it has no mass and does not take up space.
Matter is Anything with Mass and Volume

- Matter cannot occupy the same space, as seen when a pebble is dropped in a glass of water.
- The pebble displaces the water, causing it to spill out of the glass.
Air and Water are Matter
- Air and water have mass and occupy space, therefore they are made of matter.
- Water occupies space in a measuring mug, as seen by its volume.
