• Matter


  Anything that has mass and occupies space, the building block of everything in our universe
• Properties of matter


  • Mass
  • Volume
  • Density
• Mass


  The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms
• Volume


  The amount of space occupied by an object, usually measured in cubic centimeters or cubic meters
• Density


  The mass of an object per unit volume, usually measured in grams per CC or kilograms per cubic meter
• Understanding the properties of matter is important in understanding how objects interact with each other and how they behave in different conditions
• Knowing the properties of matter is important in many fields including physics, chemistry, and engineering
• Applications of understanding properties of matter

  • Designing buildings, bridges, and other structures that can withstand different forces and conditions
  • Designing new materials that can be used in various applications
• Understanding the properties of matter is also important in our daily lives, we use our knowledge of matter to cook, clean, and even play
• Examples of using knowledge of matter properties

  • Knowing that water has a high density which is why we can float in it
  • Knowing that oil has a lower density than water which is why it floats on top of water
• Understanding the properties of matter helps us make sense of the world around us and use it to our advantage
