Classification
Learning Goal By the end of the class, student will be
able to: understand the classification of matter
used by scientists classify various properties of matter
Minds On – What is it? Activity: Post-it Pile Up – What is it?
Look at the objects on your table and start to ask questions
Write down a question on your post-it note, then observe and make another.
Matter Has Many Forms What is Matter?
Anything that has mass or volume Can be solid, liquid, or gas… Mass = a measure of the quantity of
matter in an object Volume = measure of how big an object is
or how much space a fluid takes up.
Melting, Evaporation, Condensation, Freezing, Sublimation, & Deposition

The Particle Theory of Matter… Read the following article ‘The Particle
Theory of Matter’. Attempt to answer the following
questions: Who is Democritus and why is he
important? What did Democritus find out about
matter? Why do we care as scientists?
Classifying Matter ALL MATTER is made up of different
types or combinations of particles. E.g. gold & iron are both metals but they
have different characteristics Yellow & soft
v.s. Silver & hard
Classifying Matter Different types and combinations of
particles give every type of matter particular characteristics, or properties.
PROPERTY – is a characteristic that describes a substance.
Classifying Matter Pure Substance = made up of only one
kind of matter and has a unique set of propertiesPure
Substance
Element Compound
Element
A substance that cannot be broken down into any simpler substance by chemical means.
Compound
Is a pure substance that is made from two or more elements that are combined together chemically.
Quick Lab – Pennies & Water Let’s determine the special properties of
water… Lab: How many drops of water fit on a
penny? Use this lab to define the following terms;
cohesion and adhesion
Classifying Matter Mixture = a combination of pure substances.
Mixture
Heterogeneous Mixture
Mechanical Mixture
Suspensions
Homogeneous Mixture
Solution
Homework A Summary
of Matter Classification Read p.g.
143 and create a mind map of matter classification
Include examples for each.
