Copy the following chart into your notebookComplete the Matter row (all 3 boxes)

1. Atom or Molecule?

All matter can be classified as an Atom or a Molecule.

Lets give it a try!

Place the magnets in the correct place.

Atom Molecule

What can you tell about the difference between atoms and

molecules?

All matter is made of atoms.

Molecules are combined atoms.

2. Element or Compound?

All matter can also be classified as an Element or a Compound.

Lets give it a try!

Place the magnets in the correct place.

**Every piece of matter will be TWO things

Element =

Definitions: Try to come up with your own.

Compound = DIFFERENT

Atom = ONE (Alone)

Molecule = MANY (More than one)

Element = SAME (Equal)

Definitions: Mr. Hill’s favorites!

Compound = A group of two or more different types of atoms bonded together.

Atom = A basic unit of matter (nucleus and surrounding electrons).

Molecule = A group of two or more atoms bonded together. (Note: can be same OR different types!)

Element = One or more atoms of the same type.
