Matter and Materials

Unit 14

Matter

- Matter is anything that has mass and volume.
- Physical objects are made up of matter.
- Matter is made up of small particles (atoms).
- Matter can be in different states

Multiple Choice

Matter has:

• mass

• volume

• mass and volume

Multiple Choice

Smallest particles of physical objects:

• atom

• mass

• volume

Open Ended

What are the 3 states of matter?

Physical properties

- observable characteristics of a material
- used to describe and classify materials
- Examples: length, mass, volume, density, color, texture,

melting and boiling point, electrical conductivity, thermal
conductivity, magnetism

Open Ended

Define physical properties

Physical quantities

- any physical property that can be quantified and can be

measured using numbers.

- Example: mass, volume, density

Multiple Choice

Any physical property that can be quantified and can be measured using numbers

• physical property

• physical quantity

Mass

- Mass of an object is defined as the amount of matter

contained in an object.

- Mass is measured in kilograms or in grams.

Multiple Choice

the amount of matter contained in an object

• mass

• volume

• length

Volume

- Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object.
- measured in litres, milliliters, cubic metre.

Multiple Choice

amount of space occupied by an object

• mass

• volume

• length

Physical changes

- Changes in physical properties of a substance.
- Example:

- Change in color of a substance
- Change in state of matter
- Change in size

- The three states of matter are solid, liquid and gase
- States can be changed by changing the temperature of the

substance.

Properties of metals

- Usually metals are hard and difficult to bend.
- high electrical conductivity
- solid at room temperature
- high melting and boiling point
- generally malleable and ductile
- have high density and are often heavy
- examples of metals include iron, copper, gold, silver,

aluminum, and zinc
