What is Matter?
Matter
a
a
a
a
M tter c n be either
solid, liquid, or g s.
Matter
• Solids: h ve de inite sh pe nd volume. *They
do not e sily ch nge their sh pe (e.g., rocks, toys)
• Liquids: t ke the sh pe of their cont iner, they
h ve de inite volume (e.g. w ter in cup, juice)

• g s: ill their cont iner completely, no de inite
sh pe or volume (e.g., ir, helium in b lloons)
All matter has physical and chemical
properties. Today we are looking at
matter’s physical properties.
• All M tter h s physic l properties which re physic l
ch r cteristics th t m ke n object unique.
• Physic l properties c n help us group m tter into c tegories.

Physical Properties of Matter
Physical Properties: Mass
• M ss is the mount of m tter (or "stu ") in n object.
• Wh t h s more m ss:

OR
Which has more mass?
OR
• M ss is the mount of m tter (or "stu ") in n
object.
• M ss is DIFFERENT th n weight.

• Weight is the me sure of gr vit tion l force on
n object s it is pulled to the e rth.

The E rth is bigger so there is more gr vity being pulled on the person (more weight). The moon is sm ller so
less gr vity (less weight) is being pulled on the hum n. But the m ss st ys the s me bec use the person is still
m de up of the s me “stu ” whether on e rth or on the moon.
How mass is measured
Metric
Imperi l
sm ll objects (like medicine):
Gr m (g)
Ounce (oz)
everyd y objects (like people,
weights):
Kilogr m (kg)
Pound (lb)
l rge objects (like trucks):
Tonne (t)
Ton (t)
