This group of people from the Middle Ages were interested in materials and potions and thought they could turn steel into gold.

Alchemists

100

Describe the difference between and Chemical Reaction and a Physical Reaction

Physical: change in appearance only

Chemical: a new substance is formed, typically not reversible

100

This state of matter flows and takes the shape of its container.

Liquid

100

Vinegar is an example of this type of sour-tasting liquid.

Acid

100

Pennies have a thin coating of this metal.

Copper

200

In the Middle Ages, alchemists were famous for making these "magical" mixtures

Potions

200

True or False: Mixing baking soda and water creates a chemical reaction.

False

200

Matter is made of these. 

Atoms

200

This type of weather is created when rain and carbon dioxide mix together.

Acid Rain

200

This process involves air reacting with copper to turn it a blue-green color over time.


Oxidation

300

The word "gas" originates from this word

Chaos

300

This specific mixture of two household items creates a chemical reaction resulting in a new substance called "GOO".

Borax and Glue

300

True or False: A new substance is formed when a physical reaction happens. 

False

300

Besides water, this other chemical creates Acid Rain

Carbon Dioxide, pollution

300

When you place this type of metal nail into a bag of pennies, salt, and vinegar, the nail turns a copper color.

Steel

400

Alchemists were specifically known for trying to turn this common metal into gold.

Steel

400

In an experiment where baking soda and vinegar are mixed in a sealed bag, the bag expands or may even explode because of this specific movement of gas particles.

The particles expand the bag because they multiply and fill it.

According to the law of conservation of matter, if you freeze a 230-gram cup of lemonade into a popsicle, its total weight will be this.

230grams

Acid rain is a serious environmental issue because it has the power to slowly do this to stone and rock.

Dissolve them

400

When cleaning pennies in a salt and vinegar solution, the weight of the pennies actually decreases because the copper layer is being moved to this.

The salt and vinegar solution

500

This country's "ch" sounds like a "g"

Holland

500

To identify which of three white powders is baking soda, you must find the one that bubbles when mixed with vinegar but does NOT bubble when mixed with this liquid.

Water

500

This scientific term describes the process of materials falling apart, decomposing, or rotting over time.

Decay

500

Besides vinegar, this substance is often used in chemical reaction experiments to create "Elephant Toothpaste" or foam slime.

Hydrogen Peroxide

500

This is the substance created when cleaning off a penny's oxidation
