What is Matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. It can exist in various states such as solid, liquid, or gas.
Properties of Matter
Matter has different properties such as:
- Mass: The amount of matter in an object
- Volume: The amount of space matter occupies
- Density: The mass of matter per unit volume
- Solubility: The ability of matter to dissolve in a solvent
- Conductivity: The ability of matter to conduct heat or electricity
States of Matter
Matter can exist in three main states:
- Solid: Definite shape and volume
- Liquid: Definite volume, but takes the shape of its container
- Gas: No definite shape or volume, fills the entire space of its container
Changes in Matter
Matter can undergo physical and chemical changes:
- Physical Change: Alters the form of matter without changing its chemical composition (e.g. melting, freezing)
- Chemical Change: Results in the formation of new substances with different properties (e.g. rusting, burning)
Classification of Matter
Matter can be classified into pure substances and mixtures:
- Pure Substance: Made of only one type of particle, either an element or a compound
- Mixture: Contains two or more substances physically combined, and can be further classified into homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures

PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Investigate the resulting motion of objects when forces of different strengths and directions act upon them (e.g., object being pushed, object being pulled, two objects colliding).
Use observations and data from investigations to determine if a design solution (e.g., designing a ramp to increase the speed of an object in order to move a stationary object) solves the problem of using force to change the speed or direction of an object.
LIFE SCIENCE
Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
Distinguish between living and nonliving things and verify what living things need to survive (e.g., animals needing food, water, and air; plants needing nutrients, water, sunlight, and air).
