Overview • •

Pre Test Physical Properties of Matter

• Measuring Matter Construct a simple balancemass (g) Spring Scale- weight (newtons) • Solids Measuring mass and volume • Liquids Compare properties of liquids/solids Measuring mass and volume • Gases Compare gases/liquids/solids Measuring mass and volume

6

• Air Takes up space/A mixture of gases

7

• Volume Measure/Compare Solid & Liquid Water Expands as it Freezes

8

• Phase Change Role Play States of Matter Adding and Taking Away Energy
