Ethyl Alcohol
200
Matter is anything that has...
mass and volume.
200
Words that describe matter...
Properties
200
We did this to show that even though substances have the same exact volume, they do not have to have the same mass...
Water/Alcohol

Which two solids on this list would float in water?
Cork and Oak Wood
300
All matter can be sorted into these three categories based on their state...
Solid
Liquid
Gas
300
Tiny little bits that make up matter...
Particles (atoms/molecules)
300
We did this to show that more dense substances are "stronger/thicker" than less dense substances.
Layering liquids
300
The two properties of matter that you need a scale to measure...
Mass
Weight
300
These are density cubes. Which substance pictured here is the most dense?
Tungsten

Give three examples of things that are not matter...
Accept any examples of things that are not matter.
400
Measurement of how much matter is in a substance (That is why it never changes...Even if you go to the moon!)
Mass
400
We did this activity to show that substances that have the same mass, do not have to have the same volume.
Baggies of sand/cocoa/sugar/soil
400
Property of matter that is determined by how close or spread out particles of matter are.
Density
400
Substances can be identified using density because a substances density...
is always the same!
never changes!
500
Explain how we know that air is matter...
Air has mass and volume
Balloon on triple beam balance demo.
500
Measurement of how much matter is in a certain volume of a substance.
Density
500
During this activity, we had to find the mass of certain items, even though they all had the same volume, to determine the order of their densities.
Wood work
500
Property of matter that tells us whether something is smooth or rough.
Texture
500
Give a definition for density
The amount of matter is a certain volume of a substance
