States of Matter
This state of matter has a definite shape and volume.
What is a solid?
This property describes how much mass is in a given volume.
What is density?
This is the process where a liquid becomes a solid when cooled.
What is freezing?
What is peanut butter?
This state of matter takes the shape of its container but has a definite volume.
What is a liquid?
This word describes how something feels or appears to feel, like rough, smooth, soft, or bumpy.
What is texture?
The process of a liquid turning into a gas is called this.
What is evaporation?
This term refers to the amount of matter in an object, while this term describes the space that an object occupies.
What are mass and volume?
This state of matter has no definite shape or volume and expands to fill its container.
What is a gas?
This term refers to a liquid's resistance to flow, determining how thick or thin it is, like honey compared to water.
What is viscosity?
This term describes the change from a gas to a liquid, often seen as droplets on a cold glass.
What is condensation?
This gas-filled organ in fish helps them maintain buoyancy and stay at different depths in the water without sinking or floating.
What is the swim bladder?
This is the state of matter that occurs at extremely high temperatures, like in stars.
What is plasma?
This property can be observed without changing the substance, such as color or boiling point, and is reversible.
What is a physical change?
This change occurs when a substance combines with oxygen and releases energy, like burning.
What is combustion?
This property describes how much a substance can be squeezed into a smaller volume, and gases can be compressed much more than this state of matter, which is nearly incompressible.
What is a liquid?
This term describes the process of a solid turning directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first.
What is sublimation?
This property describes how a substance reacts with another substance, such as rusting, and is irreversible.
What is a chemical change?
This process describes the change that happens when food is cooked.
What is chemical change?
This system in a submarine uses tanks that can be filled with water or air to control buoyancy and depth.
What are ballasts?
