What is matter?
Properties of matter
Matter is anything and everything that has mass(how much) & takes up space
(volume). Mass is the amount of matter in an object volume is the amount of
space matter takes up. There are 3 main states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

7. YouTube: Physical vs Chemical Changes (3:45 video)
Physical Change-the mass is the same if the object is changed physically it can be changed
back.
Chemical Change-the mass is chemically changed a new object is formed and the original
object is different
For example a marshmallow is made up of matter, if we take a bite out of it we physically
change it. But if we roast it over a fire we chemically change it.
FYI
Changing a gas to a liquid is condensation.
32'F is freezing point make solids, that don't change shapes, the molecules do not move.
Above 32'F is the melting point
Physical properties of matter are categorized as either Intensive or Extensive:
o
Intensive - Properties that do not depend on the amount of the matter present.
 Color
 Odor
 Luster - How shiny a substance is.
 Malleability - The ability of a substance to be beaten into thin sheets.
 Ductility - The ability of a substance to be drawn into thin wires.
 Conductivity - The ability of a substance to allow the flow of energy or electricity.
 Hardness - How easily a substance can be scratched.
 Melting/Freezing Point - The temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance


are in equilibrium at atmospheric pressure.
Boiling Point - The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure
on the liquid (generally atmospheric pressure).
Density - The mass of a substance divided by its volume
Extensive - Properties that do depend on the amount of matter present.
 Mass - A measurement of the amount of matter in a object (grams).
 Weight - A measurement of the gravitational force of attraction of the earth acting on an object.
 Volume - A measurement of the amount of space a substance occupies.
 Length

Mechanics and Motion
Motion is one of the key topics in physics. Everything in the universe moves. It might only be a small amount of movement and
very very slow, but movement does happen. Don't forget that even if you appear to be standing still, the Earth is moving
around the Sun, and the Sun is moving around our galaxy. The movement never stops. Motion is one part of what physicists call
mechanics.
Simple and Complex Movement
There are two main ideas when you study mechanics. The first idea is that there are simple
movements, such as if you're moving in a straight line, or if two objects are moving towards
each other in a straight line. The simplest movement would be objects moving at constant
velocity. Slightly more complicated studies would look at objects that speed up or slow down,
where forces have to be acting.
There are also more complex movements when an object's direction is changing. These would
involve curved movements such as circular motion, or the motion of a ball being thrown
through the air. For such complex motions to occur, forces must also be acting, but at angles to
the movement.
