            • 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.PS3.3a:
                All matter is made up of atoms. Atoms are far too small to see with a light microscope.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS3.3b:
                Atoms and molecules are perpetually in motion. The greater the temperature, the greater the motion.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS3.3c:
                Atoms may join together in well-defined molecules or may be arranged in regular geometric patterns.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS3.3d:
                Interactions among atoms and/or molecules result in chemical reactions.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS3.3e:
                The atoms of any one element are different from the atoms of other elements.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS3.3f:
                There are more than 100 elements. Elements combine in a multitude of ways to produce compounds that account for all living and nonliving substances. Few elements are found in their pure form.
              • Major Understandings - MST4.I.PS3.3g:
                The periodic table is one useful model for classifying elements. The periodic table can be used to predict properties of elements (metals, nonmetals, noble gases).
