1. Properties of Matter
Chapter 8
Lesson 1
SPI’S:

2. In this lesson we will learn…
What matter is.
How matter changes forms.

3. What is matter?
Let’s read P. 286
to find out.

4. Matter is EVERYWHERE!!! The air we breathe, the water
we drink, the clothes
we wear, the pencils we use,
the books we read, the food
we eat, etc…

5. Science Journals Vocab.
Atom
Matter
Molecule
Physical property
States of matter

6. Science Journals Vocab.
Atom – the smallest piece of an element that still retains the property of that element.

7. Science Journals Vocab.
Matter – anything that has mass and takes up space.

8. Science Journals Vocab.
Molecule - a single particle of matter made up of two or more atoms joined together.

9. Science Journals Vocab.
Physical Property – a characteristic of matter that can be observed without changing the matter into something new.

10. Science Journals Vocab.
States of matter – different forms that matter can take; solid, liquid, gas are states that matter can take.

11. Matter Everywhere
Let’s continue by reading PP. 288 and 289 to learn more about matter and what it is. Who’d like to volunteer to read first?

12. Name the properties of matter found in the following sentence:
The tall black vase is made of glass.

13. The tall black vase is made of glass.

14. Hint: Think of properties as adjectives… They describe!!!

15. Complete this sentence:
Matter is anything that has _____ and takes up ________.

16. Complete this sentence:
Matter is anything that has MASS and takes up SPACE.

17. Who can remember the two things we said we were going to learn in this lesson?

18. What matter is How matter changes forms.

19. congratulations! You’ve just learned what matter is!
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

20. now let’s learn how matter changes forms:
Let’s start by reading “Three States of Matter” on p This selection begins with the word “Whoosh”. Who can tell me what type of literary reference this is?

21. What are the three states of matter?
Recall
What are the three states of matter?

22. Recall
solid liquid gas

23. River water exists in which state of matter?
Recall
River water exists in which state of matter?

24. LIQUID!!!

25. In what state of matter are molecules arranged in a regular pattern?

26. Solid

27. How are the molecules of water vapor similar to and different from the
Compare and Contrast:
How are the molecules of water vapor similar to and different from the
molecules in liquid water?

28. Answer
Neither are arranged in a regular pattern. In water vapor, they move rapidly and do not stay close together; in liquid, they slide past each other but stay close together.

29. Do the molecules that make up tea form a regular pattern? Explain.
Challenge Question:
Do the molecules that make up tea form a regular pattern? Explain.

30. (Molecules only form a regular pattern in a solid state).
Challenge Question:
No, molecules in a liquid slide past each other and do not form a regular pattern.
(Molecules only form a regular
pattern in a solid state).

31. Properties of Solids, Liquids,
and Gases, P. 292… Who would like to begin reading?

32. What are five physical properties of matter?_

33. What are five physical properties of matter?
Size
Shape
Color
Texture (how it feels)
State (solid, liquid, gas)

34. Look at the chart on P. 292
What is the shape of gas?

35. A gas has no definite shape.

36. What is true about the shape of all liquids, including milk and juice?

37. They have no definite shape, and they all take on the shape of their containers.

38. The Ultimate Challenge Question:
When water boils off into water vapor, is a different kind of matter formed? Explain.
C’mon man, think! You know this!!!

39. And the answer is…
NO!!! Liquid and water vapor are DIFFERENT STATES of the SAME KIND of MATTER. Although water vapor has different physical properties than liquid water does, it is still made up of the SAME matter.

40. Let’s Review:
Explain why the color blue and the number 12 are NOT considered matter.

41. Let’s Review:
They are ideas. They have no mass and do not take up space.

42. Let’s Review:
What is the difference between an atom and a molecule?

43. Let’s Review:
An atom is the smallest particle of an element. A molecule is a combination of two or more atoms.

44. Let’s Review:
List two details that support the idea that matter has properties that can be observed.

45. Let’s Review:
1. Matter has mass.
2. Matter takes up space.

46. Let’s Review:
Explain why people use solids and not liquids or gases to build houses.

47. Let’s Review:
Liquids and gases do not have a definite shape and size and cannot hold up a building.

48. Now you know what matter is and how matter changes forms.
You are all smart cookies!!!
