The three commons states of matter.
What are solids, liquids, and gases?
100

What is all matter made of?

Particles

100
This property measures HOW MUCH matter is in an object.
What is mass?
100
The property measures how much SPACE an object takes up.
What is volume?
100
This property of matter measures how "tightly packed" an objects matter is.
What is Density?
200

What do the particles in a solid look like?

They are packed together tightly with no space between them.

200
My particles hold together and hardly move. I have a definite shape and volume. I am the ___________ state of matter.
What is solid?
200

Will two things that look the same size have the same amount of mass?

No, because even though they take up the same amount of space, their mass can be different. Such as a cotton ball and a rock. 

200

We measure volume of liquids using these SI units (name at least one).

What are milliliters (mL) and liters (L)

200

The ability for the particles in a liquid or gas to be squished together

Compressibility

300

What do the particles in a liquid look like?

They are uneven and have some spaces between them

300
My particles spread apart very easily and quickly. I don't have a definite shape, and my volume can change as well. I am the _________ state of matter.
What is gas (gaseous)?
300

You use this tool to measure an object's mass.

A measuring scale


300

You use this tool to measure the volume of a liquid.

A beaker

300

What are the 4 physical properties of matter we have learned about?

Volume, Mass, Density, and Compressibility
400

What do the particles in a gas look like?

They are uneven and have a lot of space between them.

400
My atoms stay together, but can also move around. I don't have my own shape, but I have volume. I can be poured. I am the ___________ state of matter.
What is liquid?
400
True or False: Mass and Weight are the same thing.
FALSE!! Mass is a measure of matter, but weight is a measure of gravity pulling on an object. Consider this - if I send you to the moon, your mass does not magically change. Mass stays the same, but the moon's weaker gravity makes you weigh less.
400
True or False: When you pour a can of coke into a glass, the volume changes.
False - The coke still takes up the same space, so its volume is still the same. The SHAPE of the liquid changed.
400

Liquid A sinks to the bottom of a beaker while Liquid B stays at the top. Which Liquids could we be talking about?

Liquid A could be Honey and Liquid B could be water.

500

Why can you smell popcorn across the room?

Because the smell is in the air which is a gas. In gases the particles can spread far and fast.

500
If I add heat to particles, how will those particles begin to change?
The particles will move quicker and will begin to spread apart. If you add heat, the particles do more 'work.' "Heat is work and work is heat."
500
If you cut an apple into slices, has the mass of the apple changed?
The mass has not changed. Even though it has been cut into pieces, if you put them back together, the mass would be the same as when you started!
500

We measure the weight or mass of objects using these SI units (name at least one).

What is kilograms (Kg) and grams (g).

500

Why is gas more compressible than a liquid?

Because liquid has less space between particles so they can not be compressed. There is a lot of space between particles in gas which allows for higher compressibility
