Does this matter?
Going through the motions?
The right stuff
100
The three commons states of matter.
What are solids, liquids, and gases?
100
All matter is made out of these incredibly tiny particles.
What are atoms?
100
This property measures HOW MUCH matter is in an object.
What is mass?
200
For anything to be matter, it must do these two things.
What are have mass and take up space?
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
We measure mass using this metric unit.
What are grams?
300
The temperature where a solid turns into a liquid because of heat.
What is the melting point?
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.
What is a balance? (Also accepting 'scale,' but technically that measures weight - science is weirdly specific, but it'll make sense if you spend enough time with it)
400
The temperature where a liquid turns into a gas because of heat.
What is the boiling point?
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.
500
This state of matter can be found on the sun, in lightning, and in flourescent light tubes.
What is Plasma?
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."

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!
