  1. INTRODUCTION TO MATTER UNIT 1: MATTER

  2. Introduction to Matter What properties define matter?

  3. Introduction to Matter Okay, so you know that matter has mass & weight, volume, and density. If it has mass and takes up space, it is matter. What is mass?

  4. Introduction to Matter So, mass is the amount of matter in an object. What is the difference between mass and weight?

  5. Introduction to Matter Okay, mass is the amount of matter in an object while weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on an object.

  6. Introduction to Matter What types of tools are often used to measure mass and weight? A spring scale or a triple beam balance.

  7. Introduction to Matter • What is true of the weight of two students sitting side by side in the classroom if they each have the same mass? • They would have the same weight.

  8. Introduction to Matter What is volume in relation to matter?

  9. Introduction to Matter Right, volume is a measure of the amount of space an object takes up. How do you measure volume?

  10. Introduction to Matter You can use a formula: V=lwh Volume=length x width x height

  11. Introduction to Matter And you can use water displacement… (describe how to do this in your notes)

  12. Introduction to Matter How do you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object? By using water displacement…

  13. Introduction to Matter What is density as it relates to matter?

  14. Introduction to Matter Density is the ratio of the mass to the volume of an object…

  15. Introduction to Matter You can find the density of an object through this formula:

  16. Or density is the mass of an object divided by its volume.

  17. Introduction to Matter SUMMARY • Mass is the amount of matter in an object • Weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object • Volume is the amount of space that matter in an object occupies • Density describes the mass of a substance in a given volume
