6. What’s the Matter?

7. They are all types of matter!
What do carrots, people, the air in balloons, and apple juice all have in common?
They are all types of matter!

8. Matter is everything that takes up space and has mass.
What is matter?
Matter is everything around you.
All matter takes up space.
Matter has mass, which is similar to how much something weighs.
Matter is everything that
takes up space and has mass.

9. Descriptions of Matter
Matter is described as how it:
Looks (shiny, dull) - Smells
Feels - Sounds
Acts
Matter is also described by it’s:
Size
Texture

10. Three States of Matter
Matter is categorized into three groups called states of matter.
Solid
Liquid
Gas

11. What solids can you name?
Solids have their own shape.
Solids will remain the same shape unless they are changed by something.
You can touch, feel, and see solids.
Some examples of solids include:
-Person -Book -Banana
-Pencil -Towel -Television
What solids can you name?

12. What liquids can you name?
Liquids do not have their own shape.
Liquids take the shape of the container they are in.
Think about when you pour juice into a cup, the juice takes the shape of the cup.
Some examples of liquids include:
-Water -Juice -Sprite
What liquids can you name?

13. Gases A gas does not have it’s own shape.
A gas takes the shape of the container it is in.
Think about a time you blew up a balloon. The air that filled the balloon is a gas. The air took the shape of the balloon.
You can sometimes smell or feel a gas.
Some examples of gases are:
-Steam -Helium -Oxygen
What gases can you name?

14. Let’s Compare Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Solids have their own shape.
A solid’s shape will not change by itself.
Liquids take the shape of the container they are in.
Gases take the shape of the container they are in.
You can see and feel solids.
You can taste and smell some solids.
You can taste some nonpoisonous liquids.
You can see some liquids.
You can feel liquids.
You can sometimes smell gases.

15. Solid, Liquid, Gas Unknown Author
Solids A solid's a solid, It doesn't change shape. It can't move around, It stays in one place. Your desk is a solid, And so is your chair. Just look in your classroom-- Wow! They're everywhere!
Liquids A liquid moves smoothly. We say that it flows. From one place to another-- How quickly it goes! We know that most liquids Are easy to see. With no shape of their own, They're not like you and me. Gases Air is a gas. We can't see it, that's true; But often we feel it In things that we do. It keeps up a kite. Air fills up a bubble. Without it to breathe, We would be in BIG trouble!

16. Examples of Matter
Air (gas)
Mountains, Trees (solids)
Water (liquid)

17. Look at these pictures. How many pictures show a type of solid
Look at these pictures. How many pictures show a type of solid? How many pictures show a type of liquid? How many pictures show a type of gas?
Which type of matter has the most?
Solids
How many more gases are there than liquids?
1 (3 -2 = 1)

18. Changes in Matter Examples of change Tearing/ Cutting Dissolving
Melting
Squeezing
Freezing
(Please note, these are not the only changes that occur in matter.)
Click here to return to Solids slide.
A piece of paper will not change it’s shape. However, if you cut or tear the paper, the shape will change.
Sugar is a solid that will not change by itself. However, when you stir sugar in water, the sugar will dissolve.
When some objects melt, such as chocolate or a candle, the shape will change.
Play dough is a solid. You can squeeze play dough to change the shape.
Freezing some liquids can turn them into solids. For example, when you freeze water, the liquid turns to ice.

19. Did you know? Water is the most important resource in the world.
Water is the only substance that exists in all three state of matter.
At least 75% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water.
97% salt water
3% fresh water
Lakes, rivers,
glaciers, ice caps

20. Water, Water, Water Water is a liquid.
When water freezes, it becomes a solid called ice or snow.
When water is heated, it becomes a gas called steam or water vapor.
