  1. Properties of Matter By Mrs. Porter Talley Middle School Wilmington Delaware

  2. Unit Components • Physical Properties • Characteristic Properties • States of Matter • Mixtures and Solutions

  3. Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space

  4. Mass: • the amount of matter in an object • measured with a balance

  5. Volume: • the amount of space an object takes up • measured with a ruler or graduated cylinder

  6. Physical Properties • Are characteristics or features that describe matter • Are true only for a certain amount of matter

  7. color size shape texture smell temperature state Examples include

  8. Characteristic Properties • Are properties that do NOT change as mass, volume and/or shape change. • Are properties of a substance, not a specific object

  9. boiling point melting point solubility conductivity hardness pH flammability density Examples include

  10. Because characteristic properties are usually not affected by physical changes, they can be used to identify matter

  11. States of Matter • Solid • Liquid • Gas • Plasma

  12. The Molecule Chamber • Demonstrates the movement of particles of matter in the various states in which it occurs. • Increased temperature increases particle movement and the space between them. • The particles of water behave differently because of the make up of the molecule

  13. Solids • Have definite shape and definite volume • Particles are tightly packed

  14. Liquids • Do not have definite shape but do have definite volume • Particles are loosely packed

  15. Gases • Do not have definite shape or definite volume • Particles are very far apart

  16. Phase Changes of Water ICE WATER STEAM melting freezing evaporating condensing (solid) (liquid) (gas)

  17. Properties of Matter include: • How it looks (shiny, dull, colored) • How it feels(hard, soft, rough, smooth) • How it smells (sweet, salty, flowery) • How it sounds (loud, soft, hollow) • How it tastes (sweet salty, bitter, sour) • What it does (bounce, bubble, tear)

  18. Examples of Physical Properties/Changes: Mass Volume Shape Texture State Mixture Solution Odor

  19. Examples of Chemical Properties/Changes: Burning Rusting Cooking Film Processing (Any change that causes NEW matter to be formed)

  20. Characteristic Properties are... • properties that do not change with changes in mass or volume • examples include: • density • boiling point • melting point • freezing point

  21. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Science …more exciting adventures will follow…
