What is matter?
Has mass and takes up space.
What is a density column?
Describe how you would calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped solid? Use science vocab.
Use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume using the water displacement method. Fill it to a certain amount. Put in the object. The number of mL the water rises is the volume.
What is a physical change in an object/substance? List 5-10 examples
In a physical change substances do not change into other substances.
a. Water can change from a liquid to a solid b. Rocks can be crushed c. Paper can be torn d. Metal can be bent e. Boiling water
Explain the 3 different types of mixtures.
Solution: mixtures in which one substance, called the solute, is completely dissolved into another substance, called the solvent. (homogenous) Colloid: In a colloid, the particles are well mixed but not dissolved.
Grams are used to define this
What are the units to define mass?
What is the density of water?
1.0 g/ml
How do you calculate volume of a rectangular solid?
L x W x H
What are mixtures? What are the 2 categories that describe all types of mixtures?
Mixture: A combination of substances that can be physically separated from one another. All mixtures are either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
What mixture is heterogeneous?
Heterogeneous: The particles in a colloid will remain combined.
What are the units we use to define volume?
cm3 or mL3
What is the formula for density?
D=m/v
How do you find the mass of an object?
Use a balance scale; put the object on one side and gram stackers on the other side to balance the scale
What is a chemical change in an object/substance? List 5-10 examples
During a chemical change, substances react and form new substances.
a. Rusting b. Cooking c. Baking d. Burning e. Sun fading colored objects
What mixture is homogenous?
Heterogeneous: Suspension: Some of the particles in a suspension will eventually settle out?
What are the three states of matter?
Solid- substances with a fixed shape and volume Liquid- substances that have a fixed volume, but no fixed shape Gas- substances with no fixed volume or shape
Is density a physical or chemical property of matter?
Physical property; The physical properties of matter are properties that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance.
Describe why something would float instead of sink. (Make sure to use density as part of your description
The density of water is 1 g/mL. An object with a density greater than 1 g/mL will sink. An object with a density of less than 1 g/mL will float.
Explain what happens in an endothermic reaction. Give two examples.
The energy increases over time as heat is absorbed (stolen) for the surroundings. The reaction is cold.
a. Instant Ice packs b. Combining Salt and ice
What is mass?
The amount of matter in an object.
How do you find the mass of an object?
Use a balance scale; put the object on one side and gram stackers on the other side to balance the scale.
Can you define density in a complete sentence.
An object's mass divided by its volume; a measure of how many particles are packed together into a certain amount of space.
When is Dr. Seuss' birthday?
March 2
Explain what happens in an exothermic reaction. Give two examples.
The energy decreases over time as heat is released. The reaction is hot.
a. Combining calcium chloride and water b. Instant hand warmers
What is volume?
The amount of space an object or substance takes up.
