Matter
The Three States
Changing States
Density
Practicals
100

All matter has this, meaning it is made of stuff

What is mass?

100

If you add or remove this from matter it may change state

What is heat?

100

Boiling occurs when liquid turns into this

What is gas?

100

If an object is very dense it will have more of this in its volume

What is mass?

100

Heating a metal ball will stop it passing through a ring because of this

What is the particles move more causing it to expand?

200

All matter has this, meaning it takes up space

What is volume?

200

Particles are at their least active in this state of matter, merely vibrating in place

What are solids?

200

If you leave an ice cube in the sun it will do this

What is melt?

200

If an object is placed in a fluid that is more dense than the object, it will do this

What is float?

200

A change in the volume of a gas can be measured using this medical device

What is a syringe?

300

Matter is made of these

What are particles/atoms?

300

This state of matter has no fixed volume or shape

What is gas?

300

Cloud formation is an example of this process whereby a gas turns into a liquid

What is condensation?

300

Adding salt to water will do this to its density

What is increase it?

300

It is possible to make a simple thermometer using a conical flask and a straw because water does this

What is expand when heated?

400

Particles are constantly doing this

What is moving

400

If added to a vessel such as a box or a cup, this state of matter will start filling it from the bottom up

What is a liquid?

400

Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is used in smoke machines because it does this

What is sublimates (turns straight from solid to gas)?

400

Ships float despite being heavy because of this

What is they have low density/they have a large volume?

400

It is possible to create a rainbow density column using water, salt and food colouring because of this

What is adding different amounts of salt to the water will change its density

500

Particles stop moving at this temperature

What is -273.15oC?

500

This state of matter is rare on Planet Earth, it is hotter than gas

What is plasma?

500

This occurs when a gas turns into a solid

What is deposition?

500

The unit of density is one of these units which are expressed as one unit per another e.g. km/h

What are rates?

500

Liquids will take longer to run down a ramp when they are very this

What is viscous?
