Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Mass is the amount of mass an object contains. Mass is
measured using a scale.
Volume is the amount of space matter takes up.
Volume can be measured by multiplying the length,
width, and height of an object, or by using a measuring
cup and seeing how the measurement of water changes
in a cup.
Density is the amount of matter an object has in a
certain space. To find density, divide the mass of an
object by the volume of an object. D=M÷V.
A property is something that describes matter.
Physical properties are things that you can tell about an
object using your senses and without changing the
object. Example: a ball is round.
Chemical properties are things you can tell about an
object by changing it into something new that cannot
be changed back. Example: wood can burn.
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

Mass is the amount of mass an object contains. Mass is measured using a scale.

Volume is the amount of space matter takes up. Volume can be measured by multiplying the length, width, and height of an object, or by using a measuring cup and seeing how the measurement of water changes in a cup.

Density is the amount of matter an object has in a certain space. To find density, divide the mass of an object by the volume of an object. D=M÷V.

A property is something that describes matter.

Physical properties are things that you can tell about an object using your senses and without changing the object. Example: a ball is round.

Chemical properties are things you can tell about an object by changing it into something new that cannot be changed back. Example: wood can burn.

The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

A solid has definite shape and definite volume.

A liquid has definite volume, but no definite shape.

A gas has no definite volume and no definite shape.

An element is any material made up of a single kind of matter. Examples of elements are gold, iron, and oxygen.

An atom is the smallest part of an element that still has that element’s properties.

A chemical symbol is one or two letter that stand for the name of an element. Examples: O stands for oxygen, Fe stands for Iron, H stands for hydrogen, and Au stands for gold.

A compound is a kind of matter made up of two or more elements that are joined together and cannot be separated. Examples: water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and salt is made of sodium and chloride.

A molecule is the smallest part of a compound that still has that compounds properties.

A solute is the part of a solution that dissolves. Example: the powder in Kool-Aid is a solute.
