This is the definition of mass.

What is the amount of matter contained in an object?

100

This state of matter has defined shape and volume.

What is a solid?

100

This is the definition of freezing.

What is changing from a liquid to a solid?

100

This is an example of a property of matter.

Could include: color, shape, size, density, mass, hardness, texture... the list goes on and on!

This is the name of the first president of Costa Rica.

Who is José María Castro Madriz?

200

This is the definition of volume.

What is the amount of space something takes up?

200

This is a state of matter that has fixed volume but not a fixed shape.

What is a liquid?

200

This is the name for the temperature where a substance can be both a solid or a liquid.

What is freezing point or melting point?

200

This is the strength something has when pulled.

What is tensile strength?

200

This is the boiling point of water in Celsius.

What is 100 degrees?

300

This is the way you calculate density.

What is mass divided by volume?

300

A gas has _________________ shape and _________________ volume.

What are no defined shape and no defined volume?

300

True or false: Freezing point is always the same as melting point for a pure substance.

True. This is because it is the temperature at which the substance can be either solid or liquid.

300

Particles move the slowest in this form of matter we commonly encounter on Earth.

What is a solid?

300

This is an example of a crystalline solid.

What are: salt, glass, ceramic, metal, anything with a hard, solid, crystal structure

400

This is one reason why density might be different for two different substances.

What are: The particles are further apart, the particles are different masses, or the particles are different sizes

400

In plasma, this particle moves freely.

What are electrons?

400

This is what is happening when boiling occurs.

Liquid is rapidly changing to a gas, throughout the liquid, not just on the surface.

400

This property of matter is only true of a specific sample, not of the substance in general.

What are mass or volume of a specific sample?

400
This is Lewis's middle name.

What is David?

500

This is one reason why ice is less dense than water.

Hydrogen bonds make the structure of solid water less dense because it is in a crystalline shape.
500

This is one property that all states of matter have in common.

What are mass and volume?

500

This is the name for when a solid changes directly into a gas.

What is sublimation or subliming?

500

Give an example of something that is not matter.

Examples include ideas, concepts, fictional characters, light, time
