What you think chemistry is

What chemistry actually looks like

Matter is the stuff that everything is made up of.

You are made up of matter so is everything in this room.

*If it has mass it is made of matter*

Matter is made up of very small objects called “particles”

These particles create our different states of matter

Solid -- When the particles are packed very close together

Liquid -- Particles are loosely packed and takes the shape of its container

Gas -- Particles are not connected at all and fly freely in the air

This is how it looks if you were all the different states of matter;

a substance created by combining different substances together

At Grade 5 we will only be looking at;

2 or more solids

Solid and liquid

2 or more liquids
