Unit #3—Matter and Change Imagine yourself scuba diving through
a complex biological ecosystem such as a coral reef. What kinds of things
fill your imagination? Regardless of what you envision, there is only one
answer—you see matter. The diversity of matter in the world and in the
universe is astounding. From pepperoni pizza to supernovas, it’s all matter.
If we are to understand this diversity, we must start with a way of
organizing and describing matter. Why is this important to us? You
are completely surrounded by matter. To better understand this matter—how it
affects you, how you affect, and how it can be manipulated for the benefit of
society—you need to build a basic understanding of the types and properties
of matter. In this unit, you will: 1.
Distinguish between physical and chemical
properties. 2.
Classify matter by composition: element,
compound, or mixture. 3.
Identify observable characteristics of
chemical reactions. 4.
Explain the fundamental Law of Conservation
