MATTER

Science
Indicator 1
Boston International School

OBJECTIVE
To recognize the matter as a main component of everything,
and the states of matter as the changes that the matter has
depending on the molecules, in order to comprehend how
everything is made, and works. .
Learning objective:
Recognize the value of matter, what is matter made of,
proprieties and states for a better understanding of the
world.

 BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE
John 1:3
All things were made through Him, and
without Him nothing was made that
was made.

 What are things made of?

Why are some things softer
than others?

Essential idea
Matter is everything that takes up space

Matter makes up everything around you.

Air, a glass of water, a chair. Even
people is made of matter.

What is matter?
What is matter made of?
How many states does matter have?
What is the difference between solid molecules and gas
molecules?
Why do not liquids keep their shape?
Why do gases flow very easily?

States of Matter
Essential idea
Matter exists in three different states

Matter can exist in three different

states, or forms. You can observe
matter as a Solid, Liquid or Gas

Solid

retains a fixed volume and shape

rigid - particles locked into place
not easily compressible
little free space between particles
does not flow easily
rigid - particles cannot move/slide past one
another

Liquid
assumes the shape of the part of the
container which it occupies
particles can move/slide past one another
not easily compressible
little free space between particles
flows easily
particles can move/slide past one another

GAS
assumes the shape and volume of its
container
particles can move past one another
compressible
lots of free space between particles
flows easily
particles can move past one another

Vocabulary: Write the definitions

Solid: Has its own shape and volume
Liquid: has its own volume, but it takes the shape of its
container.
Matter: everything that takes up space.
Particle:
one of the extremely small constituents of matter, as an
atom or nucleus.
Rigid body: is an idealization of a solid body in which
deformation is neglected.

Plasma
Plasmas are a lot like gases, but the
atoms are different
It is often called the fourth state of
matter. Plasma is electrically charged,
does not hold its shape, has a huge
amount of energy and is very difficult
state to manipulate without a laboratory.

 Plasma can be found here on the

earth in flames, lightning, and the
polar auroras. The sun, the stars,
and some other space events and
objects are also made of plasma
matter
