If Matter is something that is made up of molecules, then what else is matter made up of?

A. Mixtures

B. Compounds

C. Atoms

D. Solutions

C. Atoms

Remember atoms make up molecules, and molecules make up matter.

100

Is this...

A. an solute

B. a plasma

C. a mixture

D. a molecule

C. a mixture

Each of the ingredients can be separated.

100

Is this a...?

A. Solid

B. Mixture

C. Solution

D. Solvent

C. Solution

The sugar and water have been stirred enough that the sugar has been dissolved making it a solution.

Malayah had a hot glass of milk, she sat a Hersheys chocolate bar in the milk and went to go make a quick phone call. When she got back she noticed her milk was a light brown color, and the chocolate bar had disappeared. Which of the following terms best describes what happened?

A. an element

B. a molecule

C. a mixture

D. a solution

100

Which of these special tools would you need to see atoms?

A. Telescope

B. Microscope

C. Satellite

D. Magnifying Glass

B. Microscope

Because atoms are so small you would need a specialized microscope to see them.

Which state of matter has molecules that are in an organized pattern with rigid structure?

Solid

This is called a colander it is used to separate noodles from pasta water when you make spaghetti. It can also be called a strainer.

This strainer could be used to separate ingredients of a pot of chili into its unique parts. If you are able to break chili into each ingredient, what is this example of chili?

A mixture.

For example, if this was turkey chili you could break apart the turkey meat, the beans, and the tomatoes/tomato sauce.

200

Which of the following is not an example of a solution?

A. Kool-aid and sugar being mixed with water.

B. Lemonade mix stirred with water.

C. Melting cheese on top of tortilla chips.

D. Mixing ketchup and mustard together for french fries.

C. Melting cheese on top of tortilla chips.

It would be difficult, but you could scrape and pull off all the cheese from the chips. That makes it a mixture not a solution.

200

What causes rain or water on roads to freeze during winter?

A. the water melts

B. the water freezes

C. the water condensates

D. the water evaporates

B. the water freezes

When the temperature drops the water will freeze and form ice. The same can be said if snow gets too warm it will melt and become water again.

200

Which of these is not an example of physical changes?

A. Melting ice cream

B. Baking a cake

C. Boiling water

D. Freezing juice for popsicles

B. Baking a cake

Melting, Boiling, and Freezing are all examples of a physical change taking place. Remember that a physical change will not result in a new substance being formed.

300

Which state of matter has molecules that are bunched together, and this state takes the shape of the container?

Liquid

Dwayne really wanted something crunchy on the salad that he had saved from the restaurant. So he added croutons (crunchy bread squares) to his lunch. Which of the following terms is the best choice to describe what Dwayne is having for lunch?

A. a solvent

B. a mixture

C. a solution

D. evaporation

B. a mixture

Remember you can take all the individual ingredients out of the salad and separate them. Which means it is a mixture.

300

Which of the following mixtures cannot be separated into its ingredients?

A. Trail Mix

B. Burrito Supreme

C. Hot Chocolate

D. Fruit Salad

C. Hot Chocolate

If it is from powder or liquid mix, once you mix hot chocolate with water or milk it has completely dissolved and become a solution.

300

What happens at the melting point of a substance?

A. Liquid becomes a gas

B. Solid becomes a gas

C. Gas becomes a liquid

D. Solid becomes a liquid

In the case of water if frozen water, or ice, becomes too warm it will melt becoming liquid water again.

The green balloon was stored at a colder temperature, while the yellow/brown balloon was stored in a warmer area. The green balloon deflated because?

A. The weight of the yellow/brown balloon was more.

B. The increase in movement of gas particles in the green balloon.

C. The decrease in temperature causes the volume to decrease as well.

D. The strength of the green balloon was less.

C. The decrease in temperature causes the volume to decrease as well.

The green balloon because it was stored in cold temperatures caused the balloon to shrink, which can be labeled as a decrease in volume.

400

If two or more atoms join together they become?

A. Mixtures

B. Matter

C. Mass

D. Molecules

When two or more atoms join they make a molecule.

Mr. Martin takes strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries and combines them. The physical properties of these berries remain the same, what is the best label for what Mr. Martin has created?

A. a mixture

B. a solute

C. a compound

D. a solution

A. a mixture

Remember that each of the types of berries can be separated and keep their characteristics, so this is a mixture.

400

Which of these substances (items) can be combined with milk to form a solution?

A. Oreos

B. A straw

C. Pepper

D. Nestle Chocolate Syrup

The chocolate syrup would dissolve into the milk making it a solution because these two parts could not be separated.

Azadeh puts a pot full of water, about 2 Liters, onto a stove on top of a burner. She then heats the water to its boiling point. When Azadeh takes the pot off of the stove she measures the liquid and finds that there is only 1.5 Liters remaining in the pot. Where did the water that was missing go?

A. It precipitated

B. It froze into ice

C. It condensed

D. It evaporated

The heat from the stove pushed the water past its boiling point which then created steam (or water vapor), which allowed the water to evaporate and lowered the overall water volume (less than was there at the start).

400

What two elements (or parts) is the molecule H2O made up of? And what is it called normally?

Hydrogen and Oxygen, it is called water.

H 2 O is made up of two Hydrogen atoms, and one Oxygen atom. This is the atomic makeup of water.

500

Which state of matter has molecules that are very spread out and are quickly moving around?

Gas

This slice of pizza is not a mixture, because it has been cooked and sliced. It would have to be whole to be a mixture.

A. True

B. False

Either slice or whole this slice of pizza is a mixture because all the ingredients can be separated.

500

Which of the following is not a correct response for seawater?

A. It is a liquid

B. It is a mixture

C. It is a solution

D. The salt is dissolved

B. It is a mixture

Saltwater or seawater in the ocean is salt that has been fully dissolved in water, so it is a solution not a mixture.

500

This is a solution. True or False?

A. False

B. True

The sugar or honey used to sweeten the tea/coffee has been fully dissolved which makes it a solution.

500

Matter cannot...

A. change state expect that of gas.

B. be destroyed, it simply changes states.

C. have mass or take up space.

D. evaporate it can only freeze or boil.

B. be destroyed, it simply changes states.

An example of this is taking a piece of paper and setting it on fire. The paper is burned but creates ash which shows that it changes state.
