What to Focus On

  • Matter has mass and occupies space.
  • Examples: book, water, air, chair, plants, animals.
  • Matter can be seen, touched, smelled, or felt.
  • Living matter: can grow, move, reproduce (e.g., plants, animals).
  • Non-living matter: does not grow or reproduce (e.g., chair, water).
  • Natural matter: found in nature (e.g., cotton, stone).
  • Atoms are the smallest building blocks of matter.
  • Molecules are formed when two or more atoms join together.
  • Molecules can be of the same kind of atoms (e.g., O₂) or different (e.g., H₂O).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Air is not matter because we can't see it.

When ice melts into water, it becomes heavier.

Gases do not have fixed volume because they have no particles.

Memory Tips

Definition of matter: anything that has mass and occupies space

Three states of matter: solid, liquid, gas

Particles in solids are tightly packed

Particles in liquids are loosely packed and can flow
