Matter and Materials

Materials can be classified into raw or processed, each serving varying purposes based on their inherent properties. Raw materials are found in nature in their unaltered state, like honey or crude oil, while processed materials, such as glass or steel, are refined by human intervention.

Why do we process?

Types of processes

Mixing and cooking

Cooking is a form of processing

Mix different materials together

Add heat

Keep at room temperature

Remove heat

Mixing and Setting

Concrete

Mix cement, sand and water. Once set the wet concrete becomes hard.

Jelly

Mix jelly powder, hot water and cold water together. Allow to set in the fridge.

Allow your mixture to set before use

Combing materials to create new materials

New materials often have different properties to the original material

Baking a cake: flour, eggs and cocoa do not taste very good on their own but as a final product the cake is delicious

Joining two or more matters together
Possesses rest mass
Occupies space
Processed
Uses

Paint

Changes the colour of an object

Rain jacket

A waterproof coat to keep us dry

Materials can be used for many different uses depending on their properties

Materials that have not been processed are called raw materials

Natural materials

When a raw material is found in the form it is in nature

Metal from a mine

Crude oil

Honey

Raw materials are made into other things

Processed materials

Glass

Steel

Paper

Built by humans

Refined

Matter

Physical Properties
Non-metals

Sulphur

Soft

Poor conductors of heat/electricity

Neak

Brittle / break easily

Dull / lack lustre

Metals

When you add two metals together you are crating a material with more favourable properties

Examples

Iron

Corrosive

Rusting

Metal + O2 + H2O = Rust = Brittle

Ductile

Good conductors of heat/electricity

Mallaeble

Shiny surface

Durable

Everything around us is made up of matter
