Matter
What is matter?
Matter is anything that has weight and takes up space.
What is the most important thing for changing state?
Temperature
How many states of matter are there?
Three
What is weight?
How heavy something is.
What is a particle?
The tiny building blocks that make up matter.
What are the three forms of matter?
Solid
liquid
gas
What is melting?
When solid is heated and changes its state to liquid.
Explain what solid is?
Solid is a matter that has a definite size and shape.
What is volume?
The amount of space taken up by something.
Explain how the particles in a gas look.
Particles in gas do not touch each other.
What state of matter would a bicycle be?
Solid
What is the name of the process if solid is changed to gas?
Sublimation
Explain what liquid is?
Liquid is a matter that has a definite size but no definite shape.
How is volume calculated?
Length x height x width
Explain how particles in solid look.
They are arranged in regular rows with the particles touching each other.
What state of matter would the ocean be?
Liquid
If I want to change gas to liquid what should the temperature be and what is the process called?
The temperature should be cold and the process is called condensing.
Explain what is gas?
Gas is a matter that has no definite size or shape.
Give 4 examples of liquid?
juice, coffee, water, oil, milk.
Explain how particles in liquids look.
The particles in liquids are arranged with particles touching each other but not in a row.
Where can we find matter?
Everywhere or All around us.
Complete the following with the process it must use:
solid to liquid
gas to solid
liquid to gas
solid to liquid = melting
gas to solid= deposition
liquid to gas= boiling
Give an example of how we can test a solid matter.
By giving the weight and volume of any solid matter.
Give 5 examples of solid.
Book, Crayon, bottle cellphone, chair
Use the particle theory to explain why a solid cannot be compressed.
The particles in solids are held firmly in place by forces of attraction - they cannot move or change places
