Matter is anything that takes up space and has weight or mass. Almost everything around you is matter.
Sort these examples into 'Matter' or 'Not Matter'.
Pick a category for each.
If it has mass and takes up space, it is matter. This includes solids, liquids, and gases.
Is each of these things considered matter?
Pick a category for each.
Everything we touch and breathe is made of matter. Remember, matter has weight and occupies space.
Can you identify which of these are matter?
Pick a category for each.
A pure substance is the same all the way through. A mixture is made of different parts that can be separated.
Is this a pure substance or a mixture?
Pick a category for each.
If you can separate the parts easily without a chemical change, it is a mixture. Pure substances are identical throughout.
Sort these into Substance or Mixture.
Pick a category for each.
Matter that is exactly the same throughout is a substance. Matter that combines items you can see is a mixture.
Determine if each is a Substance or a Mixture.
Pick a category for each.
Atoms are the tiny building blocks. Molecules form when atoms join or bond together.
Is this an Atom or a Molecule?
Pick a category for each.
Everything is built from atoms. When two or more atoms bond, they create a molecule.
Classify these as Atom or Molecule.
Pick a category for each.
Atoms combine to form everything. Molecules are just atoms that have joined forces.
Decide if these are Atoms or Molecules.
Pick a category for each.
An element is made of one type of atom. A compound is made of two or more different atoms bonded together.
Is it an Element (same atoms) or a Compound (different atoms)?
Pick a category for each.
If a molecule is made of different types of atoms bonded, it is a compound. If it's one type, it's an element.
Sort into Element or Compound.
Pick a category for each.
Everything is matter. Depending on how atoms bond, they form either elements or compounds.
Is this substance an Element or a Compound?
Pick a category for each.
The way atoms are arranged determines how a substance looks, smells, and behaves.
Why do different substances have different properties, like smell or melting point?
A molecule is the smallest part of a substance that keeps that substance's properties. If you break it, you change the substance.
What happens if you split a water molecule into individual hydrogen and oxygen atoms?
Some solids like salt and sugar dissolve because their molecules get pulled apart and mix evenly in water.
Why do some solids like salt dissolve in water while sand does not?
