ATi INES acme HANDS-ON ACTIVITY . Copy the chart onto a sheet of panet. Your teacher will Give you cifferent models of matter. Examine each model, Notice haw each cone is made up of smaller, different-colored pieces, 2. Fill in the chat, Ihe fist line has been complezed for you THINK ABOUT IT: How many riodels of matter ate there? How many smaller pieces are there in each type af matter? Objective Identity elements as substances that cannet be chemically broken down into simpler substances. Key Term element (fHL-uh-mubint); substance that cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances, Elements Most of the objects around you are made up of combinations of different kinds of matter. For example, the concrete in a sidewalk is made up of different types of matter—gravel, sand, cement, and water. However, even gravel, sand, cement, and water are made fom othe: types of matier, But these types of matter, called elements, are different. Elements are substances that cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances, All of the matter that you can observe on Earth is made up of elements or combinations of elements. [D> erive: What is an clement? The Known Elements There are more than 100 Known elements. Most of the first ninety-two elements are found in nature. The rest of the elements have been made by scientists under special laboratory conditions. Most elemerits are solids at room temperature. Some examples that you may be familiar with are iron, zinc, lead, silver, gold, calcium, sodium, nickel, and copper.

Elements and Matter All matter is made up of cloments. Some types of matter are made up of only one element. An iron nail may contain only the element iron. Aluminum foil may be made up | of only the element aluminum. Pure gold and pure silver are also made up of only one element. There are some types of matter that are made up of more than one element, Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. Table salt is made up of sodium and chlocine.
