Properties of Matter
I describe what something is like, such as color, shape, or texture. What am I?
Property
I'm the state of matter where particles are tightly packed and have a fixed shape. What am I?
Solid
If I heat water until it evaporates into steam, the total amount of matter.. A) Changes B) Stays the same
Stays the same (matter cannot be created or destroyed)
All matter is made of these tiny things that are too small to see.
Particles
I'm the standard tool used to measure the mass of an object.
Scale
I'm the amount of space something takes up. What am I?
Volume
I'm the state of matter where particles can move freely and take the shape of my container. What am I?
Gas
When you mix salt and water together, the total weight of the mixture is... A) The same B) More
The same
In a gas, particles move this way—freely or tightly packed?
Freely
I'm used to measure how much space a liquid takes up.
Measuring cup or graduated cylinder.
I'm a property that can be measured using a scale. What am I?
Mass or Weight
When ice melts into water, this process is happening.
Melting
You mix together all of your favorite ingredients in your salad. What kind of change is this?
Physical
In a solid, particles are arranged this way compared to a liquid.
Tightly packed
Temperature is measured in these units. Name one.
Celsius or Fahrenheit
Density is the relationship between mass and this property. What is it?
Volume
This process happens when a liquid becomes a gas.
Evaporation
When you burn a piece of paper, it turns to ash. What kind of change is this?
Chemical change
When you open a bottle of perfume across the room, you can smell it because gas particles _______ throughout the air.
Spread out or move freely
This tool is used to measure the length or width of an object in centimeters or inches.
Ruler
I'm a property that describes how easily something can bend, stretch, or break without snapping. What am I?
Flexibility or elasticity
When water vapor cools down and turns back into liquid water, this process occurs.
Condensation
If a balloon weighs 50 grams before being filled with air and 51 grams after, this proves the air has what?
Mass, weight, or is made of matter.
In this state of matter, particles are vibrating in place but staying close together, so there is a definite shape and volume.
Solid
This is the metric unit used to measure mass in most science classrooms.
