1. Matter By Brooke Elwell:) I am Persnickity the Perfectly Perfect Panda. I am perfect at all smarts. Today I will help you to learn about matter! Think about this while you learn: Matter matters! Why does matter matter? I will help you learn throughout this presentation.

2. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. The three states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases. Matter also has properties. Properties are characteristics of something you can observe. Examples of properties are color, texture, shape, size, buoyancy, and hardness. What is matter?

3. What is mass? It doesn't matter if it's a solid, liquid, or a gas, it all has mass. Mass is the amount of matter making up an object. Mass is measured in grams or kilograms, depending on the size of the object. You would measure object on a balance pan with known masses. This is a balance pan. I am showing how you would measure mass. I am measuring my earbuds. I start with 50 grams, and that was way to heavy. I kept trying out known masses and eventually came out with 11 grams.

4. SolidSolid I am Paulie the People Smart Panda. People are Solids. I am Persnickity's brother.

5. LiquidLiquid Stop your shaking! Your getting my rice wet! It is getting wet because it is liquid.

6. GasGas

7. PlasmaPlasma Doesn't have a definite shape or amount

8. Measurement of matter And more info

9. AreaArea Area is the amount of square units that it takes to cover a surface. Area is measured in square inches, centimeters, yards, etc. To find the area of an object, you would calculate the LengthxWidth. This is how you would find area.

11. PerimeterPerimeter

12. VolumeVolume Volume is the amount if space an object takes up. You can calculate volume using LengthxWidthxHeight.

15. Elements of matter! And more info...

16. Atoms Atoms The atoms of one element are all alike. They are the smallest particles of an element. Each atom has special parts to it. The nucleus is the center. Inside the nucleus are protons and neutrons. There are always the same amount of neutrons as protons. Outside of the nucleus is a cloud. There are two shells to the cloud. The inner cloud can only have two electrons whereas the outer shell can have up to eight electrons. To make an atom balanced, there will be the same amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons. To make an atom electrically charged, you would add more electrons because you can't take away protons. To make an atom positively charged you will take away electrons. On the periodic table elements are organized by their state of matter and by the number of protons. For example hydrogen has 1 proton so it is the first element.

17. Elements Elements Elements are the building blocks of matter. They are made up of only one type of matter. Examples of elements are gold, silver, and oxygen. Elements are made of atoms.

18. MixtureMixture A mixture is two or more types of matter combined. Each type keeps its original properties. Examples of a mixture are mixed vegetables, salt water, and grape juice. A solution is a mixture too, but it is blended completely. A mixture or solution can be separated by picking, filter, or by evaporation.

19. Compound Compound A compound is when two or more types or matter combine chemically. All elements combined in a compound lose their properties when combined. Examples are salt, sugar, and rust.

20. AlloyAlloy An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements- one must be metal. Mixing metal with another element makes it stronger. For example, you would mix pure gold with another metal to make it stronger that pure gold.

21. Physical change Physical change A physical change begins and ends with the same type of matter. In a physical change, the mass stays the same. There are four types of physical changes. There are changes in size and shape, change in texture, change in position, and change in state. Heat energy and the loss of heat energy causes matter to change state.

22. Chemical Change A chemical change is when matter changes itself. It always involves energy. You start with one type of matter and end with another. An example of a chemical change is copper acetate. It always involves energy.
