This is the state of matter where particles are tightly packed and only vibrate in place.
Solid
These must always be worn over your eyes during experiments to protect against chemicals or debris.
Safety Goggles
4(3 × 10) = 5(12 × 2)
True: 4 × 30 = 5 × 24 → 120 = 120
The prime factors of 12 are these numbers.
2 and 3
What is 12 × 11?
132
In this state, particles can flow and take the shape of their container, but they have a definite volume.
Liquid
If a chemical spills on your skin, you should immediately do this.
Tell the teacher, and rinse it off
2(6 + 4) = 3(5 + 2)
False: 2 × 10 = 3 × 7 → 20 ≠ 21
The number 45 can be split into these two numbers that multiply to make 45.
9x5 or 15x3
Multiply 23 by 15.
345
This is the process when a solid turns into a liquid.
Melting
Before using any lab equipment, you should first do this to make sure you know how to use it safely.
Read the instructions
5 × (8 + 2) = 6 × 9
True: 5 × (8 + 2) = 6 × 9
The greatest common factor (GCF) of 24 and 36 is this number.
12
Calculate 34 × 21.
714
This is the process when a liquid turns into a gas at the surface, without boiling.
If your clothing catches on fire in the lab, you should do this immediately.
Stop, drop, and roll?
7(3 + 5) = 4(2 + 12)
True: 7 × 8 = 4 × 14 → 56 = 56
This is the smallest prime number that divides evenly into 42.
2
Find the product of 46 × 32.
1,472
When ice melts into water, the particles begin to do this more freely.
Slide past each other
After finishing a lab, this is what you should do before leaving the lab area.
Clean up
8 + 2 × 5 = (8 + 2) × 5
False: Left: 8 + 10 = 18; Right: 10 × 5 = 50
The number 56 can be broken down into these two numbers if you split it into two equal parts.
28
