3 ways to measure matter.
What is mass, volume & density?
100
The process of matter spreading out evenly from its source. like when someone is wearing perfume and you can smell it in the entire room.
What is diffusion?
100
That one time when we found the mass of an object with a scale, and then found the volume. Then we did some math.
What is the lab where we learned how to calculate density?
100
The moving part of an atom.
What is an electron?
200
A physical characteristic used to describe something. For example: blue, shiny, smooth...etc.
What are "properties"
200
Three ways to measure volume.
What is water displacement, pouring & a metric ruler?
200
The amount of space taken up by a substance.
What is volume?
200
That one time when we dropped rocks and marbles into a graduated cylinder and measured a kleenex box using a cm ruler.
What is the lab that showed us how to measure volume?
200
This makes particles move faster.
What is high temperature?
300
A small part of something that has 2 or more atoms.
What is a molecule?
300
the formula for finding density.
What is density=mass divided by volume?
300
A small piece of something. Typically used to represent a small part of matter.
What is a particle?
300
that one time when we got cold water and hot water and watched how food coloring acted when we dropped into it.
What is the lab that showed how hot and cold effect how molecules move.
300
the process of particles spreading out.
What is diffusion?
400
This determines how fast particles move.
What is energy or temperature?
400
The best way to measure the volume of an odd shaped object.
What is water displacement?
400
A measure of the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams.
What is mass?
400
that one time when we put vanilla in a balloon and waited to see how long it took to smell the vanilla.
What is the lab that shows how diffusion works?
400
when an object is heated and the atoms move apart.
What is expansion?
500
the number of protons an atom contains.
What is an atomic number?
500
How scientists can see atoms
What is an atomic microscope?
500
Energy (or temperature) but mostly energy.
What determines the amount of motion of a particle?
500
that one time we went outside and tied strings to our pants demonstrated...
What is the lab that showed how water freezes?
500
The reason why there are cracks in a sidewalk.
What is expansion and contraction?
