His law states that pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship, which helps to explain the fate of a marshmallow inside of a syringe.

What is Boyle's law?

Sugar and salt represent this type of solid with a 3D shape.

What is crystalline?

100

This term describes the tendency of an object to float in a liquid, which is why boats are so nifty.

What is buoyancy?

100

This basic unit of matter contains a nucleus of protons and neutrons and electrons in its outside energy levels.

What is an atom?

MCAUVU

What is vacuum?
200

Pressure = Force/area describes this principle, which is named for a French mathematician.

What is Pascal's principle?

200

Displayed on the Mohs scale, this term describes an object's resistance to deformation.

What is hardness?

200

This structure allows boats or aircrafts to generate lift in the water. Hint: hydro_____

What is hydrofoil?

200

Two or more atoms bonded together make up this. An example is one unit of H2O.

What is a molecule?

TRAIICLPAYL

What is capillarity?

300

This principle states that an increase in a liquid's speed creates a pressure decrease (and vice versa). Hint: his last name begins with a "B."

What is Bernoulli's principle?

300

Glass, rubber, and plastics have no regular shape, which is why they are this type of solid.

What is amorphous?

300

The movable part of an aircraft at the rear that controls the amount of force and the motion of the aircraft. Hint: rhymes with "shudder."

What is rudder?

300

This random movement of particles in a liquid or gas has no definite direction.

What is Brownian motion?

LRTGSNIMEAIN

What is streamlining?

Force=constant (F=kx) describes this man's law, which sounds like Peter Pan's archenemy.

What is Hooke's law?

400

How easily something is shaped or molded describes this property.

What is plasticity?

400

A tube which draws fluid over the rim of a tank to a lower point is termed this.

What is siphon?

400

This property explains why water crosses a semipermeable membrane or the outer layer of a gummy bear.

What is osmosis?

400

IKCNTEI HYOETR

What is kinetic theory?

500

The relationship between pressure and temperature of a gas is the main focus of this man's law.

What is Amonton's law?

500

Changing shape through pressure in this process describes the marshmallow's experience during the syringe lab.

What is deformation?

500

Describe the difference between a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer.

Wording will vary:

A mercury barometer measures atmospheric pressure by allowing the level of liquid mercury to rise and fall in a tube. An aneroid barometer measures atmospheric pressure by allowing metals to expand inside of its inner box.
