Matter and Its PropertiesA Mad Lib activity
about Matter

• By Sam and Joe

2
Matter

• Matter is anything that takes up space. A
  compass, computer, and map are a few of the
  material things, or things made ofmatter in the
  world.

3
Properties

• There are 2 types of propertiesPhysical and
  Chemical. Brandon can tell one kind of matter
  from another by observing its properties.

4
Physical Properties

• Bobs favorite food is blue pyramid and smells
  like cookies.These are examples of physical
  properties.

5
Chemical Properties

• If you burned your reading book it would
  break down into substances, such as hydrogen and
  carbon, that could not be combined again.
  (But of course we would never do that!!)

6
Mass

• A physical property that every elephant possesses
  is mass. The amount of mass in a shark will never
  change when the object is moved from place to
  place.

7
Weight

• A physical property that is related to
  mass is weight. The weight of a bird may change
  if it is moved to Uranus because weight is
  determined by gravity.

8
Gravity

• The greater the mass of an object, the more
  strongly it attracts other objects. The weight of
  a T rex would be heavier on earth than on the
  moon, because the earths mass is larger than the
  moons

9
Atoms

• Atoms are the basic building blocks of all the
  chalk around you. It is the smallest particle of
  matter that can enter into chemical combinations
  with other particles.

10
Molecules

• Atoms make up molecules. Molecules make up a
  hairy eagle.

11
Elements

• Elements are pure substances, made from one
  type of atom. soda can be broken down into many
  elements but nitrogen can not be broken down.

12
Metals

• Gold, silver, copper, and iron are examples
  of metals. A gold diamond is shiny because of its
  metal properties.

13
Properties of Metals

• Gold conducts heat and electricity. Nickel
  can be hammered into thin sheets without
  breaking. Platinum can be pulled into wire.

14
Nonmetal

• The helium in my Christmas balloon is a
  nonmetal. The Oxygen in the air is not shiny
  because of its nonmetal properties.

15
Properties of Nonmetals

• A dog cannot conduct electricity. A snap
  dragon cannot be hammered into thin sheets. A
  snicker cannot be pulled into wire because they
  are not metals.

16
A Few Nonmetals

• Three nonmetals that I can remember are neon
  argon xenon.
• Argon reminds me of Men in black 2
• Neon reminds me of bright lights
• Xenon reminds me of a movie

17
Metalloids

• Metalloids have properties of both metals and
  nonmetals.
• Silicon is a metalloid that can be found in many
  materials such as the sand on Lake Tahoe the
  glass in my vase and certain plastics that make
  up my favorite toy, car.
