Matter 1
occurs when matter has a fixed volume and a fixed shape.
Solid
the amount of matter or substance that makes up an object.
Mass
Materials that do not allow electricity to pass through them.
Insulators
particles are less tightly packed as compared to solids.
Liquid
the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other
Magnetism
the materials or substances which allow electricity to flow through them.
Conductors
matter that does not have a fixed volume or a fixed shape.
Gas
the amount of space the object takes up.
Volume
the amount of heat in something.
Temperature
Counter masses are used to balance both sides of the balance to indicate the mass of the object. The balance has various parts that help in determining the mass of an object.
Triple Beam Balance
the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material.
Relative Density
If an object is more dense than water it will sink when placed in water, and if it is less dense than water it will float.
More Dense/Less Dense
Solid, Liquid, Gas
Physical State
the ability to dissolve into (become a part of) another substance.
Solubility
produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
