Matter
Remember, matter is anything that takes up space and has mass
All matter is made of tiny particles called atoms
4
Multiple Choice
What is matter made up of?
Mass
Space
Atoms
5
Atoms
Atoms are composed of even smaller particles
Neutrons (inside the nucleus)
Electrons (around the edge)
Protons (inside the nucleus)
6
Multiple Choice
What is the charge of a proton?
positive
negative
neutral
7
Multiple Choice
What is the charge of an electron?
positive
negative
neutral
8
Multiple Choice
What is the charge of a neutron?
positive
negative
neutral
9
Molecules
Any time two or more atoms come together, they form a molecule
10
Elements
An element is a pure substance that is only made of one kind of atom
11
Multiple Select
Which is an element?
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Carbon Dioxide

12
Compounds
When molecules include different elements, they are called a compound.
Ex. Carbon Monoxide (CO)
13

Law of Conservation of Matter
Matter is not created or destroyed in any chemical or physical change.
The same amount of matter exists before and after the change occurs
21

Created
Destroyed
Neither created or destroyed
22
Multiple Choice
When water is boiled and turned into steam via evaporation matter created or destroyed?
Created
Destroyed
Neither created or destroyed
23
Temperature Vs. Thermal Energy
Temperature: the measure of how fast, on average, the particles in something are moving (size doesn't matter, heat does)
Thermal Energy: a measure of the total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in a substance (the bigger something is, the more thermal energy)
24
Multiple Choice
Which has the highest thermal energy?
piece of paper
cup of hot coffee
large ice coffee
huge iceberg
25
Multiple Choice
Which has the highest temperature?
piece of paper
cup of hot coffee
large ice coffee

26
Potential Vs. Kinetic Energy
Potential Energy: stored energy an object has because of its position or state
Kinetic Energy: the energy of motion
27

Heat Transfer
Conduction: transferring through direction contact (like touching something)
Convection: transferring through air or water
Radiation: transferring through an open space
31

Three States of Matter
Solid: particles are tightly together, holds it shape, melts (turns into a liquid) when heated
Liquid: particles are not as tight together, forms the shape of the container it is put into, turns into a gas when heated
Gas: particles are very free flowing, fills the container it is put into
