Matter
Basics
Basics
Matter is anything that has matter and takes up this.
What is space?
These are three states of matter.
What are solids, liquids, and gases?
Color, odor, and texture are examples of this. Be specific.
What are physical properties of matter?
This is what we call it when water (liquid) is heated up and turns into water vapor (gas).
This is what we call water that runs over the ground and doesn't get soaked in.
What is runoff?
Matter is made of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms bond together to form these.
What are molecules?
In this state of matter, molecules can move and flow. They have a fixed volume and hold the shape of the container.
What is a liquid?
This property of matter is how much space an object takes up.
What is volume?
This is what we call it when water vapor (gas) loses heat and turns into droplets of water (liquid).
This is what we call water that is underground.
What is ground water?
In science, mass is measured in these units.
What are kilograms?
In this state of matter, the molecules take up the shape and volume of the container they are in.
What is a gas?
This property of matter is how much matter something has.
What is mass?
This is what we call water that falls to the ground from the atmosphere in various forms, such as rain, sleet, snow, or hail.
What is transpiration?
Matter can be moved or changed by this.
What is energy?
This state of matter has no fixed volume.
What is gas?
The measure of how tightly packed molecules are in an object is called this.
What is density?
This is the force that causes water to flow downhill.
What is gravity?
This is what we call it when water seeps into the ground.
What is infiltration?
A water molecule is made up of these two elements (types of atoms).
What are hydrogen and oxygen?
What is water vapor?
This is what causes matter to change from a gas to a liquid.
What is losing heat?
This is what powers the water cycle on Earth.
What is energy from the Sun?
What is what percent of water on Earth is fresh water.
What is 3%?
