Water is matter

Water is matter

• Although water is a very common substance, it is an unusuall substance.

• In order to understand just how unique water is, we must first understand what all of the things around us are made of.

• All of the things you can see are matter.

• Matter is anything that takes up space and has weight.

• Your desk and your books are matter.

• Since your body has weight and takes up space, it is matter also.

• There are real things that are not made of matter like ideas and love.

Matter is made of molecules

• All matter is made up of tiny particles called molecules.

• A molecule is the smallest piece of a substance that still has all qualities of that substance.

• The smallest particle of water is a water molecule.

• Water molecules are very tiny.

• If you could line up 60 million molecules of water side by side, they would reach across the face of a penny.

• Do you think you could see a molecule of water?

Multiple Choice

Matter is made of:

• Molecules

• Water

• Something that is not touchable

Multiple Choice

• Atoms

• Molecules

• Elements

Multiple Choice

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

You always can see a molecule

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Birds are made of small molecules

• True

• False

Molecules are made of atoms

• If a molecule of water is broken down into smaller particles, the particles are no longer water.

• The particles which make up molecules are called atoms.

• Atoms are so small that there are 500 billion trillion atoms in every teaspoonful of water.

• A water molecule is made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

• Every water molecules is made of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

• Hydrogen and Oxygen are gases found in the air

Molecules are made of atoms

• When two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen join together, they make a molecule of water.

• During the process of photosynthesis, a leaf uses the energy of sunlight to split water molecules into atoms of hydrogen and atoms of oxygen.

• The leaf uses the hydrogen to make simple sugars by combining it whith carbon dioxide from the air.

• Sugar is made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.

• The plant releases extra oxygen into the air, where it can be breathed by people and animals.
