Chapter 2: Matter and Materials
Key Concepts
Matter has physical properties such as temperature, texture, and flexibility.
We can observe the physical properties of matter to classify or group it.
Matter can be classified by the state it is in by observing other physical properties, such as its temperature.
Heating or adding heat to materials can cause melting, evaporation, or changes in size, color, shape, or texture.
Cooling (taking away heat) materials can cause freezing or changes in size, color, shape, or texture.
We can predict and describe how materials change by heating and cooling.
