8.1.1

Matter is anything that has mass and volume.

Everything around us is matter!

1. Matter

The amount of matter in a substance. Mass is measured in kg. Mass
stays the same no matter the gravity.

2. Mass

The amount of space a substance occupies.

You find the volume of shapes in your math classes!

3. Volume

Match

Match the following

• Mass

• Matter

• Volume

the amount of matter in an object

anything that has mass and volume

the amount of space a substance takes up

• the amount of matter in an object

• anything that has mass and volume

• the amount of space a substance takes up

The basic building
blocks of most matter around you.

4. Atoms

Located in the nucleus (center) of the Atom and have a positive charge.

5. Protons

Located in the nucleus (center) of the Atom and have a neutral charge.

6. Neutrons

Located in the electron cloud, which is outside the nucleus. Electrons carry a negative charge.

7. Electrons

A basic pure substance that is made from a single type of Atom.
They are the building
blocks for all other
matter.

8. Elements

Multiple Choice

True or False:

Elements are a basic pure substance made up of different types of atoms.

• True

• False

Matter made up of two or more elements that are combined
chemically

9. Compounds

Matter made up of two or more substances that are combined physically

10. Mixtures

A mixture where
substances are not distributed evenly throughout the
mixture.

11. Heterogeneous
Mixtures

A mixture where the
substances are evenly
distributed throughout
the mixture. You cannot
visually see the
different parts of a
Homogeneous Mixture.

12. Homogeneous
Mixtures

How much space a
substance takes up
(volume) in relation to
the amount of matter in that object or
substance (mass)

13. Density
