100

Anything that has mass and takes up space. 

What is matter? 

100

This measurement system is used by scientists around the world and includes units like meters and liters.

What is the metric system? 

100

A characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing it into something new.

What is a physical property? 

100

In this state of matter, the particles are packed closely together and moving slowly. 

What is a solid? 

100

This occurs when energy is added to a solid to form a liquid.

What is melting? 
200

This is the amount of space an object takes up.


What is volume? 

200

This unit is used to measure liquid volume. 

What is a liter? 

200

A characteristic of a substance that describes how it reacts with a substance to form new substances.


What is a chemical property? 

200

In this state, the particles can slide past each other, allowing for flow.

What is a liquid? 

200

This occurs when energy is removed from a liquid to form a solid.

What is freezing? 

300

This is the amount of matter in an object, and it is measured in grams. 

What is mass? 

300

This measurement is the result of mass divided by volume. 

What is density? 

300

A change that creates one or more new substances.

What is a chemical change? 

300

The state of matter found mostly in the universe. 

What is plasma? 

300

This occurs when energy is added to a liquid to form a gas.

What is evaporation? 

400

The formula for volume. 

What is length x width x height? 

400

This measurement can change depending on gravity, making it different on Earth and the Moon.

What is weight? 

400

A change in which the substance stays the same, even if its appearance, form, or state changes.


What is a physical change? 

400

In this state of matter, the particles are far apart and are very easy to compress. 

What is a gas? 

400

This occurs when energy is removed from a gas to a liquid. 

What is condensation? 

500

A tool used to measure mass. 

What is a balance scale? 

500

This method determines the volume of irregular objects by observing how much water rises.

What is water displacement? 

500

An example of this type of change is dissolving salt in water. 

What is a physical change? 

500

The state of matter that has only been created in a laboratory setting due to extreme cold temperatures. 

What is Bose-Condensate? 

500

The same point as a substance's melting point. 

What is a freezing point?
