2. IS MATTER?
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
Matter is composed of tiny fundamental particles called atoms.
Matter may be invisible, like air.
Matter may be heavy , like a rock.
4. Solids:
1. Definite shape
2. Definite volume
3. Particles cling to one
another
4. Maintains shape outside of a
container
5. Amorphous solids: plastics,
gels, and glass do not have
a any regular internal
geometric pattern
5. Liquids:
1. NO definite shape
2. Definite volume
3. Particles stick, but not rigidly
4. Does NOT maintain shape outside of a
container
6. Gases:
1. NO definite shape
2. No definite volume
3. Particles move
independently of one
another
4. Does NOT maintain shape
outside of a container

9. IS MATTER?
Mixture: 2 or more substances:
• Mixtures can be separated. They have two
types:
• Homogeneous – A mixture that is uniform
throughout the solution and has the same
properties consistently. Example: pool
water
• Heterogeneous – A mixture where the
matter is physically distinct. Example: soil

Curriculum-Nevada State P.12.A.1
Standard: Students know different molecular arrangements and motions account for the different physical properties of solids, liquids,
and gases.
Objectives: Students will know the definition of matter. Students will be able to distinguish between the various physical states of matter
and know aspects of each state. Students will be able to differentiate heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. Students
will know the difference between pure substances and mixtures.
Instruction-Procedures: Matter and Change PowerPoint presentation. Copies of slides for student review. Begin with a general overview of matter.
Discuss states of matter with graphic. Delineate aspects of each type of matter. Discuss pure substances and mixtures.
Discuss heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures.
Assessment- Short group quiz / handout for students to use for exam study. Homework: students are to write a paragraph describing
How will you check student matter. The description shall include a definition of matter, states of matter and one example of EACH state.
