States of Matter
What are the three states of matter?
What is liquid, solid, and gas?
Which state of matter is composed of atoms that are bound together but do not have a specific form?
What is liquid?
Which state of matter is composed of atoms that are frozen in place?
What is the solid state?
This is the state of matter where particles don't have a specific volume or shape, they take the shape of their container.
What is gas?
What substance froze the fastest in our first experiment with the Jello?
The water with nothing in it and the Jello.
What are the building blocks of matter?
When molecules on the surface of the water stick together they form an invisible skin called what?
What is surface tension?
Which speed do atoms move in a solid state?
What is slow?
What is expand?
What substance did we make with the cornstarch and water?
An amorphous solid or non-Newtonian liquid
What is causes one state of matter to turn into another state?
What is heating and cooling?
What is a liquid that doesn't behave like other liquids and a solid that doesn't have shape?
How are atoms lined up in a solid?
They are lined up in an orderly way and are frozen in place very close together.
How are gas atoms organized?
They are separated from each other.
What did we discover when we saw the pin floating in the water?
Surface tension
What is the temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid?
What is freezing point?
What is the thickness or resistance to flow in a fluid called?
What is viscosity?
Why do we use metal and glass to cook in our oven?
They have a very high melting point.
This is what it is called when water atoms are jumping around?
What is boiling?
In the making sorbet experiment, what did we discover salt does to the water?
It reduces the freezing point of the water?
What temperature is the boiling point of water?
What is 212 degrees F?
What is the freezing point of a water?
What is 32 degrees F?
This is what it is called when a liquid becomes a solid?
What is condensation?
What is the gas form of water?
What is steam?
What did we learn about in the experiment with the pop rocks, the soda, and the balloon?
We learned that gas needs space and it caused the balloon to inflate with expanding gas.
