We use these to make observations.  

What is our 5 senses?

100
The four states of matter are _____, ______, ______, _______. 

What is solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. 

100

This is the universal solvent. 

What is water? 

100

____________: A substance that can be dissolved 

____________: A substance that cannot be dissolved

Soluble; insoluble

100

________: 1 liquid is soluble in another liquid; 1 liquid can be dissolved in another liquid 

_________: 1 liquid is insoluble in another liquid; 1 liquid cannot be dissolved in another liquid

Miscible; immiscible

200

A conclusion we make based on many different observations.  

What is an inference? 

200

1) ________: definite volume but not a definite shape; particles touch and are able to slide past one another so they can take the shape of their container 

2) _________: definite shape and definite volume; atoms packed tightly together; atoms vibrate a little but stay packed together; we cannot see this movement

1) Liquids

2) Solids


200

1) ________: The part that does the dissolving (usually the greater amount)

 2) _______: The part that is being dissolved (usually the lesser amount) 

1) solvent

2) solutes

200

True or False: 

A physical property is a reversible process and a chemical property is not a reversible process. 

True

200

This term is described by how tightly the atoms are packed together in a given space (volume). 

What is density? 

300

The 6 steps of the scientific method. 

What are purpose, research, hypothesis, experiment, analysis, and conclusion? 

300

3) _________: no definite shape or volume; examples include sun, stars, lightning; fluorescent bulbs; most common state of matter in the universe (but not on Earth); made of charged particles (ions and electrons) that can be held in place by a magnetic field

4) _____________: no definite volume and no definite shape; atoms move around rapidly in all directions; if not contained gases will spread out indefinitely; if contained, they will take the shape of their container

3) Plasma 

4) Gas 

300

The critical temperature for melting and freezing in Celsius and Fahrenheit. 

What is 0 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Fahrenheit? 

300

Write the correct term and give an example of each.

1) _______ properties: properties that can be observed without changing the substance into another substance

2) ______ properties: properties that chemically change a substance into a different substance


1) Physical Properties- color, shape, volume, mass, density

2) Chemical Properties- flammability, reactivity, corrode (forms rust), toxicity

300

The formula for density. 

What is D=M/V?

400

Give an example of qualitative and quantitative observations.

Qualitative- describes things 

Quantitative- includes measurements or amounts (a quantity)

400

These three processes require the absorption of thermal energy. 

(Choices include: melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation, and deposition)

What is melting, vaporization, and sublimation? 

400

The critical temperatures for vaporization and condensation in Celsius and Fahrenheit. 

What is 100 degrees Celsius and 212 degrees Fahrenheit? 

400

Complete the term. 

1) _________ physical properties:  properties that depend on the amount of a substance that you have; examples include volume, mass, length, shape 

2) ________ physical properties properties that do not depend on the amount you have; examples include color, density, melting points, boiling points

1) Extensive

2) Intensive 

400

In a density column, the _____________ is found at the top of the column and the __________ is found at the bottom of the column. 

least dense or lightest; most dense or heaviest

500

The step in the scientific method where you compare the hypothesis to the experiment's actual data and communicate results.  

(Give the name of the step)

What is conclusion? 
500

These three processes require the release of thermal energy. 

(Choices include: melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation, and deposition)

What is freezing, condensation, deposition? 

500

Write the correct term and give an example of each.

1) ____________: a solid turning directly to a gas (skips the liquid phase) 

2) ____________: a gas turning directly to a solid (skips the liquid phase) 

1) Sublimation - dry ice 

2) Deposition - dew on grass 

500

Complete the term and give an example.

1) ______ change: change in a substance that results in a new substance being formed.

2) _________ change: changes do not result in new substances being formed (the chemical composition of a substance has not changed) 

1) Chemical - Examples of chemical changes include flammability, reactivity (with oxygen, water, vinegar), combustible (ability to ignite and catch fire)

2) Physical- Examples of physical changes include changes in shape, size (mass and volume) and phase changes
