What is all matter made of?
Particles
What do the particles in a solid look like?
They are packed together tightly with no space between them.
Will two things that look the same size have the same amount of mass?
No, because even though they take up the same amount of space, their mass can be different. Such as a cotton ball and a rock.
We measure volume of liquids using these SI units (name at least one).
What are milliliters (mL) and liters (L)
The ability for the particles in a liquid or gas to be squished together
Compressibility
What do the particles in a liquid look like?
They are uneven and have some spaces between them
You use this tool to measure an object's mass.
A measuring scale
You use this tool to measure the volume of a liquid.
A beaker
What are the 4 physical properties of matter we have learned about?
What do the particles in a gas look like?
They are uneven and have a lot of space between them.
Liquid A sinks to the bottom of a beaker while Liquid B stays at the top. Which Liquids could we be talking about?
Liquid A could be Honey and Liquid B could be water.
Why can you smell popcorn across the room?
Because the smell is in the air which is a gas. In gases the particles can spread far and fast.
We measure the weight or mass of objects using these SI units (name at least one).
What is kilograms (Kg) and grams (g).
Why is gas more compressible than a liquid?
Because liquid has less space between particles so they can not be compressed. There is a lot of space between particles in gas which allows for higher compressibility
