Introduction to Matter

WHAT IS MATTER?

ALMOST EVERYTHING WE SEE AND TOUCH IS MADE OF MATTER.

Almost everything around us is made of matter—your clothes, the trees, even the water you drink!  

(almost, but not everything)

" Almost everything" is not a good definition.

A good definition is more specific.

All Matter

has mass and volume.

What is mass?

Mass can be measured.

Measure: 測定 Sokutei. Misurare. Medir

Draw

Draw something that can be measured.

Mass can be weighed.

Weight is a type of measurement.

In science, we say matter has mass.

In social English, we say matter can be weighed.

​Weight = mass x gravity

Multiple Choice

How is weight different from mass?

• weight = mass + gravity

• Weight + mass =

  gravity

• mass x gravity = weight

• gravity x weight =

  mass

What is Volume?

Not the kind of loud or soft volume

Volume is the amount of space occupied by something.

occupy:

to fill space.

​This bathroom is occupied.

The space is filled with a person.

occupy:

to fill space.

​This bed is occupied.

The space is filled with a person.

The Apps occupy (take up) a lot of storage space in a cell phone.

Liquid, tea, takes up space in the cup.

Therefore, the liquid has volume.

Volume can be measured

in liters and meters.

​Volume measures how much space something occupies.

Things that fill the space in a container have volume.

Draw

Draw or insert an image of something with volume (takes up space).

Matter takes up space in a container.

All matter

• can be weighed (has mass), and

• occupies space (has volume).

Multiple Select

WORKSHEET:

What is Matter?

Part Two:

Atoms and Matter

What is Matter?

Matter is anything that has

mass (weight) and volume (takes up space).

What is Matter Made Of??

Matter is made of atoms.

All matter is made of atoms.

Atoms bond to form molecules.

Molecules bond to form matter.

Multiple Choice

If all matter has mass (weight) and volume (takes up space),

and

all matter is made from atoms,

then

all atoms have ...

• mass

  and volume

• only volume

• mass and gravity

• only mass

How do scientists define matter?

with mass and volume

Multiple Choice
