CHAPTER 3 : MATTER Introduction

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. This means that almost everything around us is matter. The air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat are matter. We are also matter, as a plants and animals. Matter can exist in three forms that is GA , !"#$"% and &!"%. 3.1 Matter Has Mass and Occupies Space '. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. (. Therefore we can say that everything around us is matter. ). *xamples of matter include air, water, soil, other non+living things and living things. ,. -on+matter also exists. -on+matter does not have mass and does not occupy space for example gravity, sound and light. Activity 3.1 Matter has Ai Materia!s and Apparatus ass and occupies space . To show that matter has mass and occupies space . /alf+metre ruler, ( balloons, thread, water, needle, cellophane tape, retort stand and clamp, beaker and basin.

3.$ The Three States o% Matter &hat is atter is ade up o%' Matter is made up of very s a!! partic!es. These particles are so small that they cannot be seen even with a microscope. There are spaces (et)een the partic!es because there are discrete. The particles of matter can move. Three States O% Matter '. (. ). ,. 7. Matter can exist in three states namely so!id, !i*uid and +ases. <or example ice is water in solid state. Water in the li:uid state is called water. "f water is boiled, it turns into gas and is called steam. "f water changes into gas at temperature below '==>8, it is called water vapour.

This enables us to store the gases in cylinders and transport then easily. (. Air is compressed into tyres of motor vehicles to enables the wheels to support the vehicles and move them on the road. ). A li:uid takes up the shape of a container. o the perfumes and li:uor are stored in beautifully designed bottles to attract attention. ,. A li:uid find its own level. A spirit level makes use of a coloured li:uid and an air bubbles in a glass tube to check whether a surface is perfectly level. 7.

A buoy is made to float in certain areas of the sea to guide ships. ). 0amboos or logs are tied together to form a raft. Eafts are used as boats to transport goods and people. ,. 3lastics balls are tied to fishing nets so that the nets can stand erect in the sea for catching fish. 7. !ogs are floated down the river from a forest to a sawmill. This method saves energy, time and money. ;. oil containing tin ore is washed down a JpalungK with water. The denser the tin ore sinks the JpalungK while the soil is washed away. G.
