All things that take up space.

What is matter?

100
The 3 common states of matter are
What is solid, liquid, and gas?
100
A solid keeps its shape and size because 
its particles are packed closely together, tightly fixed to its position, and although they can move back in forth, they stay in place.


100
Smaller volumes of liquid can be measured in (also what is the conversion to small volume to larger volume?)
milliliters (ml) 


1,000 milliliters=1liter

100

 Define volume

 the amount of space a substance occupies

200
Matter is made up of smaller parts called
What is particles?
200
the state of matter that has a definite shape and takes up a definite amount of space.
What is a solid?
200

what is H20?

a molecule

200

Name two signs that a physical change has happened

change in shape or change in state

200

Can matter be created or destroyed?

No, it can only change form.

300

Particles of matter are so small that scientists must use special types of 

What are microscopes?

300
What determines the state of matter?
The arrangement of the particles of matter.
300
In a liquid, the particles are 
packed together, but are free to slide past one another.
300

how is mass measured?

small masses-grams (g)

larger masses-kilograms (kg)

1,000 gram= 1 kilogram

300

expression for density

 p=m/v

400

Particles are constantly

Moving

400
the state of matter that takes up a definite amount of space but takes the shape of its container.
What is liquid?
400
The movement of the liquid particles is what makes it possible to
pour a liquid.
400

Scientist use these tools to measure the volume of liquid

What is measuring cylinders?

400

give an example of a chemical change

burned log

500
Any material or object that has mass and takes up space.
What is matter?
500
The state of matter that has no definite shape and takes up no definite amount of space.
What is gas?
500
The particles in a gas are
constantly moving at high speeds in all directions.


Gas will expand or spread apart, to fill its container.

A gas can also be squeezed, or compressed, into smaller containers.

what is the fourth state of matter?

plasma
