Vocabulary
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
Matter
This state of matter keeps its shape when placed in a container
Solid
This physical property describes the way something feels, such as "smooth" or "rough".
Texture
In this state of matter, particles are packed tightly together and move very little. This gives it a definite shape and volume.
Solid
You have 10 mL of water in a graduated cylinder. When you place an eraser in it, the water rises to 12 mL. What is the volume of the eraser?
2 mL
The amount of matter in an object
Mass
This state of matter takes the shape of its container and has a definite volume
Liquid
This physical property describes if things will be attracted to a magnet.
Magnetism
In this state of matter, particles are flowing freely but are still somewhat close together. It has no definite shape, but a definite volume.
Liquid
What tool could scientists use to measure the mass of an object?
A triple beam balance
The amount of space an object takes up
volume
This state of matter spreads out to fill its entire container
Gas
This physical property describes whether an object will sink or float in water.
Relative Density
In this state of matter, particles move very quickly and are very spread out. It has no definite shape or volume.
Gas
What tool could scientists use to determine the temperature of an object?
A thermometer
How much mass can be found in an object compared to its volume
Density
In order for a liquid to become a gas, it would have to do this:
Evaporate
This physical property describes how the particles in the object behave and is based on temperature.
Physical State
All the tiny particles that make up the world are called what?
Atoms
You put 20 mL of water into a graduated cylinder. When you place a toy car inside, the water rises to 40 mL. What is the volume of the car?
20 mL
Measurement of the ability of a solid to dissolve in a liquid
Solubility
In order for a gas to become a liquid, it would have to do this:
Condensate
This physical property describes how well electrical energy flows through an object.
Electrical Conductivity
In order for matter to change states, this is what needs to be added or removed from the particles.
Thermal Energy
You place a marble in water, and you watch it sink. Does it have a high or a low relative density?
High
