Science

Matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space, with properties including mass, volume, color, shape, and texture. It exists in three states: solid (definite shape and volume), liquid (definite volume but no definite shape), and gas (no definite shape or volume). Changes in matter can be physical (no new substance formed) or chemical (new substance formed and usually irreversible).

WHAT IS MATTER?
Matter is anything that has mass Examples:
and occupies space.

Mass = how heavy something is •Water
Volume = how much space it •Air
takes
PROPERTIES OF MATTER

Matter can be described using:


•Mass (heavy or light)
•Volume (big or small space)
•Color (red, blue, etc.)
•Shape (round, square)
•Texture (smooth, rough)
STATES OF MATTER
SOLID

• Has definite shape and


Examples:
volume
•Rock
• Particles are tightly
•Table
packed
•Pencil
• Does not flow

Solids keep their shape. Even if you move them, their form stays the same.
LIQUID

•No definite shape Examples:


•Has definite volume • Water
•Flows easily • Juice
• Oil
•Takes the shape of
container
Liquids can change shape depending on the container, but the amount stays the
same.
GAS

•No definite shape Examples:


• Air
•No definite volume • Steam
•Spreads out and fills
space

Gas particles are far apart, so they move freely and spread out.
CHANGES IN MATTER
PHYSICAL CHANGE
• No new substance is formed
• Only size, shape, or state changes

The material is still the same, only its form changes.


CHEMICAL CHANGE
• A new substance is formed
• Usually cannot be reversed

In chemical change, the original material becomes something


new.
