Everything around you is made up of matter. Matter is anything that has mass and volume. What are the definitions of mass and volume?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object
Volume is the amount of space it takes up
The melting point is the temperature that a ______________ changes to a _______________
solid changes to a liquid
You use this tool to measure an object's mass.
What is a balance? (Also accepting 'scale,' but technically that measures weight - science is weirdly specific, but it'll make sense if you spend enough time with it)
The boiling point is when a ____________ changes to a ________________.
liquid changes to a gas
My atoms stay together, but can also move around. I don't have my own shape, but I keep the same volume. I can be poured. I am the ___________ state of matter.
What is liquid?
True or False: Mass and Weight are the same thing.
FALSE!! Mass is a measure of matter, but weight is a measure of gravity pulling on an object. Consider this - if I send you to the moon, your mass does not magically change. Mass stays the same, but the moon's weaker gravity makes you weigh less.
Two more more atoms bonded together is called a
Molecule
What happens to particles/atoms when you apply heat?
The particles will move quicker and will begin to spread apart.
Why don't people in space experience the sensation of having weight?
They are in free fall. Everything around them is falling at the same rate.
