What property of matter is measured using a triple beam balance?

What is MASS?

100

What are physical characteristic that can be observed and measured using our senses and/or scientific tools?

Properties of Matter

100
What is matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape
Liquid
100

What happens when a gas goes to a liquid?

Condensation

100

What is the SMALLEST unit of matter?

Atom

200

How do you measure the volume of a liquid?

What is use a measuring cup or a graduated cylinder?

200

This property of matter is the relationship between mass and volume.

Density

200

Particles move the fastest, the most, and are the farthest apart from one another in this state of matter.

What is gas?

200
It goes from a liquid to a gas.
What is evaporation?
200

This state of matter has a definite shape and a definite volume

Solid

300

What is water displacement?

What is when water rises because of an object being placed in the water (also, we can measure volume this way)

300

What is the name for an object that floats?

Buoyant or Buoyancy

300

The particles in this state of matter move VERY little, if at all, and are very tightly packed together.

What are the particles in a solid.

300
What do we call when a liquid goes to a solid?

Freezing.

300

The amount of matter in a given space (how compact an object is)

Density

400

If you have a graduated cylinder with 100 mL of water, you place an object in and the water rises to 134 mL. What is the volume of that object?

What is 34 mL?

400
How can you compare the density of water with that of other kinds of matter?
What is If an object is less dense than water it will float. If it is more dense than water, it will sink.
400
These particles are not as far apart as those in a gas but are farther apart than the ones in a solid. What are they and how do they move?
What are the particles in a liquid. They move and slide over each other.
400

What happens when a solid changes to a liquid?

Melting

400
The amount of space that matter takes up.
What is volume.
500

How do we determine is an object is more dense than a certain liquid?

Place that object in the liquid, if it floats, it is less dense; if it sinks, it is more dense.

500

True or false: We can use liquid to measure the volume of solid objects

True
500

Name an example of a colloid (this was discussed in the Brain Pop video)

Jell-o, paint, butter...

500

What kind of change is it when a change happens to matter, but it only looks different; it is still the same type of object? (for example, if I tear a sheet of paper in half, or break a piece of wood, or melt ice)

Physical Change

500

What is the state of matter that is found in lightning, stars, etc?

Plasma
