MATTER
AND
ITS
PROPERTIES
Everything
around
us
is
made
out
matter.
Matter
is
anything
that
takes
up
space
and
has
mass.
All
matter
is
made
up
of
many
different
kinds
of
particles
that
are
combined
together
in
different
ways.
Lesson
Checkpoint:
What
is
matter?
An
atom
is
the
basic
building
block
of
matter
that
make
up
all
objects.
It
is
the
tiniest
particle
of
any
element.
An
element
is
matter
that
is
made
up
of
one
type
of
particle.
Scientists
have
identified
over
100
elements
in
nature,
which
are
labeled
on
the
Periodic
Table
of
Elements.
Some
elements
are
copper,
calcium,
and
uranium.
States
of
Matter
There
are
three
states
of
matter:
solid,
liquid,
and
gas.
Solid
matter
always
has
and
keeps
the
same
shape.
An
example
of
a
solid
is
a
rock.
A
solid
is
matter
in
which
its
particles
are
fit
together
tightly.
A
second
state
of
matter
is
liquid.
A
liquid
is
matter
in
which
the
particles
are
close
together,
but
not
as
close
as
in
a
solid.

Liquids
do
NOT
keep
the
same
shape.
Liquids
take
the
shape
of
whatever
container
holds
it.
An
example
of
a
liquid
is
water.
A
third
state
of
matter
is
gas.
A
gas
is
matter
in
which
its
particles
are
very
far
apart.
Gas,
like
the
air
around
us,
has
no
shape
and
most
gases
are
invisible.
Gas
is
all
around
us.
There
is
a
layer
of
gas
that
surrounds
Earth,
which
is
called
the
atmosphere.
An
example
of
a
gas
is
oxygen,
which
we
need
to
breathe
in
order
to
survive.

are
the

of
matter?
Properties
of
Matter
A
property
of
matter
is
a
feature,
trait,
or
characteristic.
Matter
can
have
many
different
properties.
Properties
are
used
to
describe
an
object.
Some
properties
of
matter
can
be
measured
using
tools
such
as
a
balance
to
measure
an
object’s
mass
and
a
graduated
cylinder
to
measure
the
volume
of
liquids.
Scientists
most
often
use
metric
measurements
when
measuring
matter.

Density
is
a
property
of
matter
that
tells
how
much
matter
fits
into
a
certain
space.
Buoyancy
is
also
a
property
of
matter.
Buoyancy
is
whether
an
object
sinks
or
floats
in
water.
A
property
of
an
item
may
also
be
its
hardness,
like
a
brick.
Size
is
also
a
property
of
matter.
The
size
of
something
has
to
do
with
how
big,
small,
wide,
or
thin
something
is.
The
size
of
an
object
can
be
measured
using
the
metric
units
millimeters
(mm),
centimeters
(cm),
and
meters
(m).
For
long
distances
the
metric
unit
of
kilometers
(km)
can
be
used.
Lesson
Checkpoint:
What
is
one
property
of
matter?
Volume
is
the
amount
of
space
matter
takes
up.
Solids,
liquids,
and
gases
all
have
volume.
Mass
is
how
much
there
is
of
something.
An
object’s
mass
is
not
to
be
confused
with
how
much
it
weighs.
For
example:
An
object’s
mass
is
the
same
no
matter
if
it
is
on
Earth
or
on
the
moon.
An
object’s
weight
is
different
on
the
moon
than
it
is
on
Earth
because
of
gravity.
