PROPERTIES
OF
MATTER
AND
ENERGY
What
is
matter?
Matter
is
anything
that
takes
up
space
and
has
mass.
Properties
of
Matter
Mass
Definition:
the
amount
of
matter
in
an
object
Tool
for
measuring:
pan
balance
Volume
Definition:
the
amount
of
space
an
object
takes
up
Tool
for
measuring:
graduated
cylinder
Weight
Definition:
the
measure
of
the
pull
of
gravity
on
an
object
Tool
for
measuring:
spring
scale
Density
Definition:
how
much
matter
is
found
in
a
certain
space
or
how
much
matter
is
packed
together;
density
depends
on
mass
and
volume
Lesson
Checkpoint:
What
is
the
difference
between
mass
and
weight?
Special
Properties
of
Matter
Some
matter
has
the
capability
of
conducting
energy,
such
as
wires
which
conduct
electrical
energy.
Some
matter
insulates
against
energy,
such
as
a
wood
handle
on
a
pot
that
insulates
against
heat
energy
so
that
you
can
hold
a
hot
pot
using
the
wooden
handle
and
not
get
burned.
Other
properties
of
matter
include
magnetism
which
is
the
property
of
being
magnetic
(attracting
iron
or
steel)
and
buoyancy,
which
is
the
ability
of
an
object
to
float.

Energy
Energy
is
the
ability
to
do
work.
Kinetic
energy
is
energy
that
is
happening
now;
it
is
energy
in
motion.
The
faster
an
object
is
moving,
the
more
kinetic
energy
it
has.
The
more
mass
an
object
has,
the
more
kinetic
energy
it
will
have.
Kinetic
energy
can
change
forms.
For
example,
kinetic
energy
can
change
into
heat
energy
when
you
rub
your
hands
together.
Potential
energy
is
energy
that
is
waiting
to
happen;
it
is
stored
energy.
Examples
of
potential
energy
include
a
rubber
band
being
pulled
back
or
someone
sitting
on
the
top
of
the
slide
–
both
have
the
potential
to
move,
but
have
not
moved
just
yet).
Lesson
Checkpoint:
What
is
kinetic
and
potential
energy?
Forms
of
Energy
Electrical
Energy
Electrical
energy
is
the
movement
or
flow
of
charged
particles
that
care
called
electrons.
Examples
of
electrical
energy
are
electricity
and
lightning.
Thermal
Energy
Thermal
energy
is
energy
related
to
heat.
An
example
of
thermal
energy
is
geothermal
energy,
which
is
beneath
the
surface
of
the
earth.
Chemical
Energy
Chemical
energy
is
energy
stored
in
the
bonds
of
atoms
and
molecules.
It’s
the
energy
that
holds
these
particles
together.
Mechanical
Energy
Mechanical
energy
is
the
energy
an
object
has
due
to
its
motion
or
due
to
its
position.
Mechanical
energy
can
be
either
kinetic
energy
(energy
of
motion,
like
a
rolling
ball)
or
potential
energy
(stored
energy
because
of
an
object’s
position,
like
an
arrow
pulled
back
in
a
bow).
Radiant
Energy
Radiant
energy
is
energy
that
travels
in
the
form
of
electromagnetic
waves.
Radiant
energy
includes
visible
light,
x-rays,
gamma
rays,
and
radio
waves.
Lesson
Checkpoint:
Describe
one
form
of
energy.

How
does
heat
get
transferred?
•
By
conduction
which
is
the
transfer
of
heat
between
two
objects
that
TOUCH.
For
example:
When
a
metal
spoon
is
put
inside
a
cup
of
hot
chocolate,
heat
travels
from
the
hot
chocolate
to
the
spoon
because
the
two
are
touching
and
because
metal
is
an
excellent
conductor
of
heat.
•
By
convection
which
is
the
transfer
of
heat
through
liquid
or
gas.
An
example
of
this
is
a
heated
pool.
•
By
radiation
which
is
the
transfer
of
heat
through
electromagnetic
waves,
such
as
radiation
inside
a
greenhouse.

is
one

heat
can
get
transferred?
