Name a unit scientists use for measuring mass.
Example: grams or kilograms
What is texture? Give 3 examples
The way an object feels. Examples: gritty, smooth, rough, slippery...
Which diagram shows a model of the particles from a sample of matter in liquid form?
A B C
Sample A
In which state of matter do the particles move the fastest?
Gas
Name a unit scientists use for measuring volume.
What is conductivity?
A measure of how well a material transmits electricity
True or False:
If a sample of matter does not form a solution, it will not be conductive.
solution not a solution
True!
Describe how the particles of a solid behave.
They are tightly packed together and vibrate in place, causing the solid to keep its shape.
What is the name of the unit scientists use for measuring temperature?
Celsius
What is reflectivity?
A measure of how well a material reflects, or throws back, light
Brittany has a sample of matter that is white with a crystal appearance. She also knows that her sample does not form a solution. Can her sample be identified based on the information provided in the table? If so, what is her sample?
Yes, she has sample Z
What is buoyancy?
The ability for an object to float (in water, air, or another fluid)
What is the name of the measurement system that scientists use? (hint: it is different than the system we use daily)
metric system
What physical property of matter does the Mohs scale measure?
Hardness
What heading would correctly label column Y?
Volume
How is it possible for a smaller volume object to be heavier than an object with a larger volume? (you must use a science vocabulary term in your response)
The smaller object must have a greater mass
Name 3 physical properties of matter.
Examples: color, texture, mass, harness, solubility, reflectivity, conductivity
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter/material that makes up an object, and weight is the measure of the gravitational pull on an object or how heavy an object is.
Use the table below to answer this question:
If John has a sample of matter that is not conductive because it does not form a solution. He can now identify the sample by identifying the ____________ of the sample. To collect this data, he will need a ________________.
He can now identify the sample by identifying the PARTICLE APPEARANCE of the sample. To collect this data, he will need a HAND LENS.
Heather has two samples of matter. She observes the samples with a hand lens and does not observe any differences in the two samples. Which observations would identify the samples as two different kinds of matter? (choose 2)
A. one sample forms bubbles in vinegar and one sample does not
B. one sample is soluble in water and one sample is not
C. one sample has more mass than the other sample
D. one sample has a greater volume than the other sample
B and C
