Properties of Matter Mme. Goold Grade 7 Science

What is Matter? • Matter is the material of which something is made or composed of. • All matter is made up of extremely tiny particles. • Matter occupies spaces and has mass. • Matter includes all solids, liquids and gases. • Forms of matter have different characteristics. (words that describe) • The characteristics that are used to describe matter are called properties. • All matter has its own set of properties making the matter unique.

liquid material has mass MATTER gas tiny particles occupies space solid has characteristics (properties)

Properties of Matter • • • Boiling Point Clarity Colour Conductivity Density Ductility Elasticity Freezing Point Hardness Lustre Magnetism Malleability • • • Mass Odour Rigidity Shape Size Solubility State Strength Taste Texture Viscosity Volume

Properties of Matter • The characteristics that are used to describe materials are called properties. For each word assigned to you: • 1) Use a dictionary to write a definition that explains the characteristic in terms of matter. Use your own words!! • 2) Write a sentence telling about a substance that has that property. • 3) Include a picture that would demonstrate the characteristic.

Definition Rigid but very easily broken. Matter that breaks with a snap rather than bends. Example The stem of a wine glass will snap and break easily; therefore, is brittle.
