    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.

    States of Matter

    • There are three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

    Solids

    • Solids have a fixed shape.
    • Solids do not flow.

    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 has a mass and occupies space
    • All objects have mass but they can have different amounts
    • Mass is the amount of matter in something
    • Volume is the amount of space an object takes up
    • The volume of an object can be determined by how much space it displaces

    Air and Water are Matter

    • Air and water are matter because they have mass and volume
    • Air takes up space and has mass
    • Water has volume and takes up space
    • Shadows, heat, and light are not matter because they do not have mass or volume

    Matter Exists in Three States
