Introduction
All materials around you are made of matter. Wood,
steel, air, rocks, plants and animals are all matter.
You can tell the difference between the kinds of
matter by studying their properties.
In this lesson, you will learn more about Matter

After going through this module , you should be able to:
• Conclude that solids, liquids and gases occupy space and

have weight
• Demonstrate that solids liquids and gases ( e.g. air ) have
weight
• estimate the weight of solids by hefting and using an
improvised balance and non-standard weights ( e.g.
marbles, paper clips)
• Measure the weight of solids using weighing scales
• Estimate the heaviness of liquids using an improvised

balance and non-standard weights ( e.g. Marbles, paper
clips)
• Perform an activity to show that gases have weight using

an improvised balance
Discussion
Weight is the pull of gravity on matter.
When you weigh an object, you really measuring the
pull of gravity on that object. Gravity controls the
weight of an object.
Gravity is a force that pulls all objects toward the
center of the earth.
Weight is measure by using some laboratory

instruments called weighing scales, spring balance,
or weighing balance. The weight is expressed in
grams.
Any object has weight. The weight or heaviness of objects of
the same kind depends on their size. A bigger one is heavier.
The smaller one is lighter.
Matter takes up space, therefore, it has volume. This

means that it has length, width, and thickness.
Volume gives you an idea of how big or how small the
object is. Volume may also be referred to as the size of an
object.
Activity 1
What are the properties of matter?
Materials:
Weighing scale pencil book
Block of wood stone water
drinking glass marker a pail with water
Procedure:
A. 1. Prepare the weighing scale.
2. Weigh the book, block of wood, pencil , and stone separately.
3. Record their weights.
B. 1. Half-fill a glass with water. Use the marker to mark the level
of water.
2. Drop the stone in the glass.
C. 1. Invert an empty glass into the basin of water. Do not tilt

the glass.
2. Take the glass out of the water while keeping it upside down.
Observation:
A. What is the weight of the
book ____________ pencil _________________
block of wood ____________ stone _________________
B. What happens to the level of water when you drop the stone?
_____________________________________________________
C. What happens inside the glass?
_______________________________________________________
Conclusion
What two properties of matter are shown
in this activity?
Activity 2
Object Have Weight
What you need: Glass with water and weighing scale,

coin, pencil, notebook, book, stone, wood, balloon with air
What to Do:
1. Set the weighing scale on a flat surface. Be sure that
its pointer is at zero ( 0 ).
2. One by one, place an object on the weighing scale.
Record its weight.
Conclusion ( answer briefly)

3. Do all objects have weight
4. Which is heavier, a small or a big object?
Group the given objects accordingly. Write the name
of each object.

A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II
10. It cannot be contained in an open container?

B. liquid
C. solid
D. gas
SUMMARY
Matter is anything that occupies space and has

volume and has heaviness. It exists in three states:
solid, liquid, and gas. Water exists in these three
states. Each state of matter has own characteristics.
Solid have definite shapes. Liquids follow the
shape of their container because they have the
ability to flow. Gases do not have a definite shape.
A gas like air has heaviness. It cannot be contained
in an open container. It can be squeezed.
Weight and volume are physical characteristics of
all kinds of matter. They can be measured directly or
indirectly.
