The Basics
What is matter?
Anything that takes up space and has mass.
In this state, the particles are close together and stays in the same shape
solid
What is magnetism?
Materials that can be attracted or repeled by magnets
What is Volume?
The amount of space that matter takes up in an object.
At what temperature does water freeze at?
32 F (Fahrenheit) and 0 C (Celsius)
What are the three states of Matter?
liquid, gas, and solid
In this state, the particles are moving freely by one another but are still close to one another, slipping and sliding.
Liquid
What is attraction?
When materials pull towards magnets.
How can we measure mass?
How can we measure weight?
Mass with a scale; pan scale.
Weight with a spring scale.
At what temperature does water boil?
Boils at 212 F and 100 C.
What are the properties of matter?
color, smell, size, shape, and texture
In this state, the particles move out away from one another and are difficult to keep in a container.
Gas
What is repulsion?
When magnetic materials pull away from magnets
A thermometer is used to measure...
Temperature
What does the Law of Conservation of Mass state?
That the parts of an object will still have the same mass as the whole object.
