Themes in Physical Science
Matter (Physical Science Unifying Concept A)
Matter has various states with unique properties that can be used
as a basis for organization. The relationship between the properties
of matter and its structure is an essential component of study in
the physical sciences. The understanding of matter and its properties
leads to practical applications, such as the capability to liberate
elements from ore, create new drugs, manipulate the structure of
genes and synthesize polymers.
