MATTER: PROPERTIES AND STATES
Activity 2. Read the following text and check your answers from activity 1.
Matter is everything that forms the universe and occupies space.
Through the senses (taste, smell, sight and touch) we receive and perceive
information about all that surrounds us.
Matter has two fundamental properties:
-
MASS: It is the amount of matter that an object has.
-
VOLUME: It is the amount of space an object occupies.
All the material on Earth is in three states-solid, liquid, and gas.
- SOLIDS: They have a fixed size and shape. They do not adapt to the
shape of the container holding them. Examples: pencil, biscuits.
-
-
LIQUIDS: They adapt to the shape of the container holding them.
Examples: milk, juice.
GASSES: They fill all the space available to them. They escape from an
open container. Examples: oxygen, vapour.
Size: proportion, magnitude of
anything
Shape: Form
To Hold: To Contain
Fixed: Constant

(Chorus)
Oh, dear, what can this matter be?
Oh, dear, what can this matter be?
Oh, dear, what can this matter be?
Solid or _______ or ________?
A solid has weight, takes up ________,
Has a certain shape.

CHANGES IN MATTER
Activity 8. Read the following text
The states of matter – solid, liquid or gas – can be changed by
heating
or cooling
HEATING
- If ice (solid) is heated, it changes to water (liquid). This change is called
melting.
- Water (liquid) can change to water vapour or steam (gas). This is called
evaporation
- If water (liquid) is heated until it boils, it changes to water vapour or steam
(gas) very quickly.
COOLING
- If water vapour (gas) is cooled, it changes to water (liquid). This change is
called condensing.
- If water (liquid) is cooled, it changes to ice (solid). This change is called
freezing.
The state of materials in nature depends on their temperature.
TEMPERATURE is a measure of how hot or cold things are. You need a
thermometer to measure temperature. Temperature is measured in degrees
Celsius (°C).
For example: water is always a liquid when its temperature is more than 0ºC
and less than 100ºC
When water is less than 0ºC it is a solid (ice) and when it is more than 100ºC
it is a gas (steam).
This means if we heat or cool an object we change the state of the matter it
is made of.
5º de Primaria: Matter and its properties
14
To heat: to become hot or warm.
To cool: to become cold
Measure: the extent, dimensions, quantity… of something
Activity 9.Listen to your teacher and match. After check
your answers with your classmate.
EVAPORATION
1.The process by which a gas changes to
a liquid state is called
FREEZING
2.The process by which a liquid turns to
solid due to low temperature is called
3. When a liquid changes to a gas below
its boiling point is called
MELTING
4. The process by which matter changes
from a solid to a liquid state is
CONDENSATION
“Which process do
you think is
melting?”
“I think melting is
when a solid passes
to a liquid state”.
“No, I don´t”
“Have you listened
to number 1?”
5º de Primaria: Matter and its properties
15
Activity 10. True or False
Read these sentences and write T for true or F for false. Correct the false
sentences.
T F
Melting is the change from liquid to solid.
When you touch an object and it feels cold it means that you are
transfering heat to the object.
By heating up an object we can change it from a solid to a liquid.
When the temperature is between -10ºC and 0ºC water is in a liquid state.
When the temperature is above 100ºC water is in a gasseous state.
Water is in a liquid state when the temperature is between -15ºC to 0ºC
Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold things are
Heat, cold, light or electricity are made of matter.

ARTIFICIAL MATERIALS
21
Activity 16. Read the following text and check your
answers from activity 15.
All objects that we have around us are made of materials. These are materials that
come from nature and others that are manufactured by people.
We can find natural materials in nature. They can be of three types:
Materials of vegetable origin are obtained from plants. For example, cotton and
wood.
Materials of animal origin come from animals. For example, leather
obtained from animal skin and silk obtained from the silk worms.
Materials of mineral origin are obtained from minerals and rocks. For example,
iron and marble
5º de Primaria: Matter and its properties
22
Artificial materials are manufactured by people. Artificial materials are made from
natural materials and other materials that are not found in nature. For example, we
manufacture paper with wood and we manufacture glass with minerals.
Plastic and cardboard are also artificial materials. Plastic is manufactured with
oil and cardboard is made of wood.
Other artificial materials are soap, which is manufactured with oil, or ceramics which
are made of clay.

Activity 24.Listen and read the text and check the last activity
The extraction of natural materials, the manufacture of artificial
materials and the use of both can cause problems like:
-
Depletion of materials.
Pollution and changes in the environment.
Production of rubbish.
To solve these problems there is a rule called “ THE THREE R´S” Rule.
REDUCE-REUSE-RECYCLE
Reduce: It means using fewer raw materials and less water and energy.
For example:
- Don´t leave the light on if you're not in a room
- Don´t let the water run when you do the dishes or wash your
hands.
- Have a shower instead of taking a bath.
Reuse: It means not throwing things away when they are still useful. For
example:
-
We can use glass bottles to keep something in.
We can use plastic bags as rubbish bags.
When things break, see if they can be fixed before throwing
them away.
Recycle: It means using waste to produce new products. How?
-
We can put plastics in the yellow recycling container.
We can deposit glass in the green recycling container.
We can deposit paper in the blue recycling container.
Reduce: To use less of something.
Environment: Everything around you: air, water, animals, plants, people…
Rubbish: Unwanted material that we throw out.
Raw materials: Natural materials not changed by manufacturing

Activity 28. Final task.
1.Think about how we can reduce, reuse and recycle at home. Listen and read the
following text. Here are some tips to help you to do this.
2. Organize the information and write a title.
3. Make a poster about how you can reduce, reuse and recycle at home.
4. Find photos on the internet, magazines, etc... You can find information on the
following websites:
http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/explore/reduce/index.htm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKvGgb3YcDQ
http://www.recyclezone.org.uk/
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
5. Finally, explain your final product to your classmates.
- Try to reduce your rubbish by buying things with as little packaging as
possible.
- Buy good quality products, as cheap things break easily and end up in the bin.
- If you don’t need a plastic bag, don’t take one!
- Bring your own bags when you go shopping.
- Take old toys, books and clothes to a charity shop for reuse.
- Refill an empty plastic bottle with water rather than buying new bottles all the
time. It reduces waste and saves you money!
- Only buy as much food as you need. It will also save you money.
- Use your recycling bin or box at home.
- Many other things like wood, electrical goods and glass bottles can be taken to
your local Recycling Centre.
