Describing Matter
100
All of the objects and materials you can name.
What is matter?
100
The 3 common states of matter are
What is solid, liquid, and gas?
100
A solid keeps its shape and size because 
its particles are packed closely together, tightly fixed to its position, and although they can move back in forth, they stay in place.


100
Smaller volumes of liquid can be measured in (also what is the conversion to small volume to larger volume?)
milliliters (ml) 


1,000 milliliters=1liter

100
A golf ball and a table tennis ball have this in common
What is volume? (they take up the same amount of space)
200
Matter is made up of smaller parts called
What is particles?
200
the state of matter that has a definite shape and takes up a definite amount of space.
What is a solid?
200
If you pour a cup of juice into a large bowl, the amount of juice
What is "does not increase or decrease?"
200
You can measure the mass of an object using a tool called
What is a balance?
200
Volume=length x width x height
What is the volume of a regular solid?
300
Particles of matter are so small that scientists must use special types of 
What are microscopes?
300
What determines the state of matter?
The arrangement of the particles of matter.
300
In a liquid, the particles are 
packed together, but are free to slide past one another.
300
The units mass is measured is (2, and what is the conversion)
small masses-grams (g)

larger masses-kilograms (kg)

1,000 gram= 1 kilogram

300
The volume of this cube
What is 75cm^3
400
Particles are constantly
What is moving?
400
the state of matter that takes up a definite amount of space but takes the shape of its container.
What is liquid?
400
The movement of the liquid particles is what makes it possible to
pour a liquid.
400
Scientist use these tools to measure the volume of liquid
What is beakers and graduated cylinders?
400
Find the volume of an odd shaped solid
What is 

place it in a container of water and see how much the water rises.  The change in the water water level is the volume. (If the water was at 12 mL and then went to 16 mL, what is the volume?)

500
Any material or object that has mass and takes up space.
What is matter?
500
The state of matter that has no definite shape and takes up no definite amount of space.
What is gas?
500
The particles in a gas are
constantly moving at high speeds in all directions.


Gas will expand or spread apart, to fill its container.

A gas can also be squeezed, or compressed, into smaller containers.

500

The amount of matter in an object

The amount of space an object or material takes up

the mass of an object divided by its volume (the amount of mass COMPARED to volume)

What is mass?

What is volume?

What is density?

500
Explain how density affects whether or not an object floats or sinks in water.
An object will float if it is placed into a substance with a greater density.  What will a tennis ball do in water? What will a golf ball do in water?
