CHARACTERISTICS

OF MATTER
WHAT IS MATTER?
 WHAT IS MATTER?

Matter is anything that occupies space

and mass. Everything around us is made
up of matter.

 IF EVERYTHING IS MATTER
HOW DO WE CLASSIFY THEM?

CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER
PHYSICAL CHEMICAL
PROPERTIES PROPERTIES
shape ability of a matter
texture to change its
softness/hardness composition to
boiling point form a new
melting point substance
 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
DENSITY An object’s density
the mass of an object depends on how closely
per unit volume. the tiny particles are
Expressed in grams packed together.
per cubic meter

a matter will either

float or sink in water

DENSITIES OF SOME COMMON

SUBSTANCES
 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
ABSORBENT An object’s texture has
easily absorbs water hair like structures

called capillaries it has
the ability to absorb
NONABSORBENT water because of its
does not absorbs
cappilarity.
liquid

 WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS

ABSORBENT AND NONABSORBENT?
 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

SHAPE TEXTURE
is the form of an means smoothness,
object or its external roughness, or
boundary, outline, or bumpiness of the
external surface, surface of an object
IDENTIFY THE SHAPE AND TEXTURE
 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
BOILING POINT MELTING POINT
is the temperature at which is the temperature at
the vapor pressure of a which it changes state
liquid equals the pressure
surrounding the liquid and from solid to liquid
the liquid changes into a
vapor.
 DECAYING/NONDECAYING
PROPERTIES
BIODEGRADABLE DECAY
typically originating from is a natural process,
plant or animal sources, means changes in the
which may be degraded by materials bought about
other living organisms any presence of air and
water in the environment
NONBIODEGRADABLE and other
microorganisms
materials that cannot be
decomposed
WHICH MATERIALS IS BIODEGRADABLE
OR NONBIODEGRADABLE?
 EFFECTS OF DECAYING MATERIALS

DECAYING
POLLUTION MATERIALS
interferes proper
functioning of the body referred to be as garbage,
which means wasted or
FOOD SPOILAGE spoiled food and other
unused items. This is a
cause disease causing breeding ground for
bacteria, signs are mold or microorganisms which
bad odor. Causes diarrhea, are bacteria or fungi.
cholera and food poisoning
HOW TO AVOID HARMFUL EFFECTS OF
DECAYING MATERIALS?
Avoid exposure to decaying materials or garbage
Practice proper management of wastes. Use the

3R's (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) and segregate

waste as Biodegradable and Nonbiodegradable.
Always wash your hands especially when
touching decaying materials
 CONCLUSION
All materials are matter. They can be
classified base on their density, ability to
absord water, texture, shape and
whether they decay or not. Which
greatly helps us to organize or group
materials around us according to their
properties to help us live a healthy
environment.
