A state of matter with a fixed shape and volume. Particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place.
What is a solid?
A state of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape. It takes the shape of a container and has particles that can move past each other.
What is a liquid?
A state of matter with neither a definite shape nor volume that can expand to fill the shape and volume of its container. Its particles are widely spaced and move freely.
What is a gas?
Something that can be seen, noticed, or perceived through the senses.
What is "observable?"
Capable of being expressed in terms of quantity.
What is "measurable?"
A measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of a substance.
What is temperature?
The dimensions of individual particles, often referring to their size in a substance.
What is particle size?
The amount of matter in an object. It is often measured in units like grams or kilograms.
What is mass?
It keeps its shape.
What is the nature of a solid?
It takes the shape of its container.
What is the nature of a liquid?
The transformation of a liquid into a solid state, typically by cooling.
What is "freeze?"
The process by which a solid turns into a liquid, usually by heating.
What is "melt?"
The process in which a substance mixes uniformly with another, forming a solution.
What is "dissolve?"
A device or material used to separate solid particles from a liquid or gas.
What is a filter?
A combination of two or more substances in which each substance retains its own chemical properties.
What is a mixture?
They fill their container.
What is the nature of gases?
The amount of space occupied by an object or substance, often measured in cubic units.
What is volume?
To arrange or organize items based on certain criteria, such as size, color, or type.
What is "sort?"
The process by which a liquid turns into a gas, usually due to heat.
What is evaporate?
The process by which a gas turns into a liquid, often by cooling.
What is condense?
The act of dividing or isolating components within a mixture.
What is separation?
The main difference in the structures of each is in the densities of the particles.
What are the basic states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas?
Plasma, Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), quark-gluon plasma, degenerate matter
What are less commonly known states of matter?
Anything that takes up space and has weight.
What is matter?
A mixture of household items that come together to create a polymer substance that acts like both a solid and a liquid, depending on how you play with it. This is called a non-Newtonian fluid.
What is slime?
