What Is Physical Science?
Warm Up #1:
Scientists observe and describe what
surrounds them and make observations
during experiments. What are your senses
that you can use for observations?

(Notes, right side, p.12)
What Is Physical Science?
• Physical science studies energy, matter, and the
properties (characteristics) and interactions of
matter
• Matter is everything that has mass and volume
• Mass and volume are physical properties
• Matter has physical and chemical properties, and
physical and chemical interactions.
• Physical properties can be measured without
changing or destroying the substance.

What is mass?
a. The amount of matter in an object
b. How much space something takes
c. It is the same as density

(Notes, 16) Volume
• Volume is the amount of space something fills or
takes up
• Measurement depends on what shape and state:
– Regular solid (like a box): length*width*height, or
similar formula
– Irregular solid: water displacement
– Liquid or gas: graduated cylinder
• SI/ metric unit: for solids cm3 (or: m3, mm3), for
liquids ml (or: l)
(15) Measuring Volume
Example: Small Cube- rectangular solid 15.625 cm^3
(15) Measuring Volume

States of Matter
• There are 4 states of matter: solid, liquid, gas
and plasma
• Although you probably know the first 3 best,
actually plasma makes up most of the
universe
• States of matter have to do with energy
• States of matter can change into each other by
adding or removing heat energy

is called boiling

Atoms
• Atoms make up matter, they are very small
• Different things are made of different kinds of
atoms
• Elements are things that have only one kind of
atom: they are pure substances
• All atoms have a nucleus (center), and
electrons
• Atoms can combine with other atoms to make
molecules, using their electrons to form bonds

of an atom?
a. Protons and Neutrons
b. Neutrons and Electrons
c. Electrons and Protons

(Notes, 24)
Chemical Reactions
• Atoms can use their electrons to form chemical
bonds
• When bonds are broken or formed, we call this a
chemical reaction, or a chemical change
• A chemical reaction always results in a new
product
• However, the number of atoms always stays the
same in a chemical reaction
• You have to remember certain signs of a chemical
reaction: color change, temperature change, gas
production, forms precipitate (also see p. 23)

Forces
• Forces have to do with motion: they start to
move stuff, stop it from moving, or keep it
moving
• Forces are measured in Newton (N), which is a
measure of how strong the force is
• Forces also have a direction (which way they
push or pull something)
• Forces are shown by arrows called vectors
(25)
Vectors Show Strength and Direction!
• Vectors show strength through length
• or width:
• Vectors show direction by pointing a certain
way
