Properties of Matter

100

What is mass? Which tool do we use to measure mass?

the AMOUNT of matter in something

balance

200

What is volume? Which tool do we use to measure volume?

the amount of space something takes up. graduated cylinder

300

Name at least 5 properties you can use to separate different types of matter.

color, texture, volume, temperature, mass, volume, shape, electrical conductivity, magnetism

400

Describe how you would separate a mixture of water, sand, pebbles, and paper clips.

Use magnet to separate paper clips.  Pour water and sand into strainer to take out pebbles. Filter the sand from water and leave only water in container

500

What are the definitions of solids, liquids, and gases?

solids - DEFINITE SHAPE AND DEFINITE VOLUME

gases - NO SHAPE AND NO VOLUME

liquids - NO SHAPE BUT DEFINITE VOLUME

Mixtures and Solutions

100

what is a mixture?

materials mixed together

200

what is a solution?

a type of mixture that is evenly dissolved and difficult to separate

300

Name one way you can separate sand water.

Name one way you can separate salt water.

with a filter/strainer

by boiling and evaporating water; only sugar will be left behind

400

What is a solute? What is a solvent? Give one example for both.

solute - the substance that is being dissolved (salt, sugar, coffee grains, etc.)

solvent - the substance the solute is being dissolved into (water, oils, etc.)

500

What is solubility?

the ability of a substance to dissolve in water

States of Matter

What are the three states of matter?

solid, liquid, gas

200

Give one example of each state of matter.

gas

liquid

solid

300

Draw what the particles (atoms) of each state of matter would look like inside a cup

solids - close together, solid shape

liquids - near each other, take shape of container

gas - far apart, don't take shape

400

1) solid to liquid

2) liquid to solid

3) liquid to gas

4) gas to liquid

1) melting

2) freezing

3) evaporation

4) condensation

500

What are the phase changes of gas to solid and solid to gas called?

deposition and sublimation

200

How can you slow down the ripening of a banana?

put it in the fridge or freezer to cooler temps

300

_______ affects how fast or slow chemical and physical changes occur.

temperature

400

What are three ways you can tell a CHEMICAL change has taken place?

change in color

heat

light

new substance formed

new odor

formation of a solid

gas bubbles

500

What is a chemical change? What is a physical change? How are they different?

chemical change - one or more types of matter change into other types of matter with different properties. produces new substance

physical change - change in SOME properties of matter without forming a different kind of matter.
