            • Introduction - MST4.I.PS3.Introduction:
              Objects in the universe are composed of matter. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Matter is classified as a substance or a mixture of substances. Knowledge of the structure of matter is essential to students' understanding of the living and physical environments. Matter is composed of elements which are made of small particles called atoms. All living and nonliving material is composed of these elements or combinations of these elements.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS3.2a:
                During a physical change a substance keeps its chemical composition and properties. Examples of physical changes include freezing, melting, condensation, boiling, evaporation, tearing, and crushing.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS3.2b:
                Mixtures are physical combinations of materials and can be separated by physical means.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS3.2c:
                During a chemical change, substances react in characteristic ways to form new substances with different physical and chemical properties. Examples of chemical changes include burning of wood, cooking of an egg, rusting of iron, and souring of milk.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS3.2d:
                Substances are often placed in categories if they react in similar ways. Examples include metals, nonmetals, and noble gases.

                The Law of Conservation of Mass states that during an ordinary chemical reaction matter cannot be created or destroyed. In chemical reactions, the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
