Anything that has a mass and takes up space.
What is matter?
The three most common states of matter that substances exist in.
What are solid, liquid, and gases?
The phase change where a solid turns to a liquid.
What is melting?
The temperature that water boils at.
What is 100 degrees celsius?
The reason a liquid thermometer rises when it gets hot out.
What is, liquid expansion when its particles are heated up.
the amount of matter something has
What is mass?
Pancake syrup is an example of this.
What is a liquid?
Water droplets on the outside of a cold glass of water are examples of this phase change.
What is condensation?
The temperature that water freezes at.
What is zero degrees Celsius?
The reason ice floats in liquid water.
What is, water's weird property of being less dense in its solid state than liquid state.
the amount of space an object takes up.
What is volume?
The state of matter where particles are the closest together.
What is a solid?
The phase change from the gas state to the liquid state.
What is evaporation?
The state of matter where particles are the highest in temperature.
What are gases?
The reason bridges are not one solid structure and have small spaces in between sections.
What is to account for thermal expansion and contraction. The space allows for the different length of the materials depending on the weather.
All matter is made up of these.
What are particles?
What is a gas?
The phase change that is occuring when humidity in the air changes to frost during a cold night.
When matter changes in size and length with heating or cooling.
What is thermal expansion and contraction?
The reason the Celsius scale was created.
What is the temperature scale is based on the melting and boiling points of water?
What is density?
Lightning, solar flares, and the Aurora Borealis are examples of this bonus state of matter.
What is plasma?
The direct conversion of a solid to a gas.
What is Sublimation?
The theoretical temperature where particles are completely still and have no energy.
What is 0 degrees Kelvin, or absolute 0.
Why aquatic life in large bodies of water can survive during winter months.
What is only the surface of the lake becomes frozen because of ice's density in relation to water, allowing for insulation under the ice, which keeps temperatures above 0 in the water below.
