States of Matter
This is what we call matter that has a definite shape and size. The particles move slowly and are very close together.
Solid!
Independent Variable - What we ________.
Change!
This is the name of the substance we made that had the properties of both a solid and a liquid.
Oobleck!
Matter is everything around us. Matter has _______ and __________.
Mass and Volume!
__________ - Observable facts or events that occur in the _________ ________.
Examples of this would be the northern lights, mountains, precipitation (rain, snow, hail, etc.), comets, and many more things.
Phenomena and Natural World
Examples: Orange juice, maple syrup, water, olive oil, etc.
Liquid!
In our tomato in water/salt water solutions experiment, the containers, water, and tomato were our _____________ _____________.
Controlled Variables!
A specific and testable educated guess.
(What you think will happen during an experiment).
Hypothesis!
This is the amount of matter that an object has. It can measured in ______ and ________.
Mass! It can be measured in grams and kilograms.
In the container with no salt in the water, the tomato sunk to the bottom because it was ________ dense than the water.
More!
This is what we call matter that has a definite size but no definite shape.
Liquid!
____________ ___________ - What we measure.
Dependent Variable!
This is what we write at the very end of our experiment, when we are reflecting on what we learned during the process.
The conclusion!
__________ is the amount of ___________ that an object takes up.
Volume and Space.
The state of matter that oobleck mimics when you punch it is solid because...
When quick pressure/force is applied, the particles move together quickly, making it act like a solid.
This is what we call matter that has no definite size or shape.
Gas!
In our tomato in water/salt water solutions experiment, the salt was the _________ __________.
Independent Variable!
The results are the section of our experiment sheet where we write or draw and label our ___________ of the experiment.
Observations!
This word is the property that we tested when we put the tomato in various water/salt water solutions.
Density!
How does water exist in all three states of matter?
In solid form, water is ice.
In liquid form, it is water.
In gas form, it is water vapour.
When we created Oobleck, we were experimenting with a solution that existed between two states of matter at the same time. What did we call this type of fluid?
Non-Newtonian Fluid!
DAILY DOUBLE!!!
In the experiment that we used as an example with the plants when one got more water than the other:
What were the controlled variables?
What was the independent variable?
What was the dependent variable?
Controlled - Pot, Sunlight, Soil, Type of Plant
Independent - Amount of Water
Dependent - Plant Growth
When we observed the tomato in the salt water solution with 4 tsp of salt in it, we concluded that the water was _____ _________ and therefore the tomato ________ in the water.
- More Dense
- Floated
Why can gases be compressed more easily than solids and liquids?
Solids and Liquids have particles that densely packed together. This makes them very difficult to compress because there is very little space (or no space at all) between their particles. Gases on the other hand have particles that are very far apart. This makes them much easier to compress because there is space between the particles for them to be squished closer to eachother.
Your group needs to show us with their bodies what the particles in a solid, liquid, and gas look like.
Solid - Group members should be close together and shaking slightly.
Liquid - Group members should be farther apart and moving a little bit faster.
Gas - Group members should be moving even quicker and farther apart.
