  2. Lesson 1: What is the structure of Matter? • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. • When you measure the amount of matter in an object you’re measuring the object’s mass.

  3. Although mass and weight are not the same, they are related. Weight is a measure of how much the mass is pulled by gravity. • Scientists say that mass is conserved, or kept the same.

  4. Volume • The amount of space an object takes up is its volume. • It’s easy to find the volume of an object with a regular shape, such as a box. You can use a ruler to measure the object’s length, width, and height, then multiply the three numbers to find the volume.

  5. Volume of a liquid • How do you measure the volume of a liquid? • You can use a measuring cup or a graduated cylinder that marks the level of a liquid. • Scientists say that the volume, like mass is conserved. This means that the amount of space a measured volume tales up doesn't change if we move it, divide it, or change its shape.

  6. Atoms and Molecules All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms.

  7. The Atom • An atom is the smallest particle that can still be identified as the matter it came from. • Atoms are so small that they’re invisible to the naked eye.

  8. The Atom • Atoms can be broken down into even smaller particles. • Nucleus = dense area in the center, contains protons and neutrons. • Protons= positive electrical charge • Neutrons= particle with no electrical charge • Electrons = circle the nucleus of an atom it has negative charge.

  9. The Atom • Different atoms contain different numbers of particles. • The number of protons is important. • A hydrogen atom has one proton. All atoms that contain one proton are hydrogen. • All oxygen atom contains 8 protons.

  10. Molecules • A molecule is made up of two or more atoms joined together. • The water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. • This water molecule looks and acts differently from the hydrogen and oxygen it’s made up of.

  11. The Periodic Table

  12. Matter that is made of one kind of atom is an element. • Scientists have identified 116 elements. For example iron, gold, carbon, oxygen, neon. • To organize the elements scientists use a chart called the Periodic Table.

  13. The Periodic Table • Elements are arranged in order by the number of protons in the nucleus. • An element’s number of protons is called atomic number.

  14. The Periodic Table • All elements on the left side of the table are metals (except hydrogen). • Metals are shiny solids. • The elements at the far right of the table are nonmetals.

  15. Solids, Liquids, and Gases States of Matter

  16. Three states of Matter • Solid= has its own shape and volume • Liquid = has its own volume, but takes the shape of the container. • Gas= doesn’t have a definite shape or volume. It expands to take whatever space its available.

  17. States of Matter • The states of matter differ due to the ways their particles (atoms or molecules) are arranged and the ways they move. In a liquid, particles are farther apart In a gas, particles are far apart In a solid, particles are close together.
