matter properties and changes examples grade 5

📚 Quick Study Guide

🔍 Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. 📏 Properties of matter describe its characteristics (e.g., color, size, shape, texture, hardness, magnetism, state). 🌡️ States of matter include solid, liquid, and gas. 🧊 Changes of state occur when matter is heated or cooled (e.g., melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation). 🧲 Physical changes alter the appearance of matter without changing its composition (e.g., cutting paper, dissolving sugar). 🔥 Chemical changes result in the formation of new substances (e.g., burning wood, rusting iron). ⚖️ Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
