•It is composed of
tiny particles called
atoms.
Things that are not considered as matter:
Structure Of Matter
• The atom is the “building block of matter”.
• All substances are composed of invisible
particles called atoms.
• Atoms are the building blocks of matter
and are in constant motion.
• The combination of atoms leads to millions
of materials with different properties.

 Plasma
• Plasma is the form of matter that exists when the
atoms are in an excited state.

 Stars (the sun is a star) exist in the plasma state

because of nuclear fusion.

 Some examples of plasma found on Earth are:

lightning, auroras, and neon.

PICTURE MAP
Identify examples of SOLIDS, LIQUIDS, and GASES. Cut
picture of solids, liquids, and gases from magazines or
newspapers. Gather the pictures and create a picture
map. Make your picture map creative.

 Venn Diagram
Using the Venn
Diagram, compare and
contrast the
characteristics of
solids, liquids, and
gases. (Note: The
intersecting areas on
the Venn diagram
describe the
similarities between
two or more entries.)
