Sci8 - Matter: Topic 2 Classifying Matter

Today we are:  reviewing the 3 states of matter and learning how to classify them

I will: review properties of solid, liquid or gas.  I will review how matter can vary in shape, volume and compressibility. I will: learn about how matter is classified.

I can: identify matter based on it's properties of shape, volume and compressibility I can: state the classifications of matter

1.  Lets Review.  All Matter is:

2.  Lets Review.  Each state has properties related to shape, volume and compressibility.  We will do this as a class.

3.  Lets Review.  All matter can change states:

4.  Let's look at how we classify matter.

5.  Here are some helpful links.  link 1,  link 2, link 3

6.  Make some notes on matter categories like the diagram above.  Include;

       i.  a diagram 

       ii.  a short description on each; elements, compounds, homogeneous and heterogeneous.
