Name 3 natural materials used by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit to build. 

Birch bark

Animal hides

Plants

100

What are the three main states of matter?

Solids, Liquids, and Gases

100

What is melting and what is freezing?

Melting is a change of state from solid to liquid, and freezing is a change of state from liquid to solid.

100

True or False: Water freezes at the same temperature as it melts.

True

100

Describe how particles look and behave in a solid.

Particles vibrate at a slower rate and are packed tightly together.

200

Explain 2 ways animals were used to make materials in Indigenous communities.

Hides for drums and tipis, bones for tools  

200

Which state of matter:

-has a definite shape

-has a definite volume

-doesn't flow

-is a fixed shape

Solid

200

What is the boiling point of water?

100 Degrees celsius

200

How does knowing the melting/freezing and boiling points of substances help you in your daily life?

Some examples:

-It will help with cooking

-I can make sure I don't get burned if water is too hot

200

Describe how particles look in a liquid. 

Particles flow and move around one another and are close together, but not packed super tight. 

300

What is a natural material?

Is anything that occurs naturally in nature.

300

Which state of matter:

-flows easily

-has a definite volume

-does not have a definite shape

Liquid

300

What is evaporation?

A change of state from liquid to gas

300

What is the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid called?

Melting point

300

Describe how the particles in a gas behave and look.

The particles in a gas are vibrating and moving super fast and away from one another. 

400

What is a processed material?

Is something from nature that people have changed, mixed, or cooked, to make it into something new and useful.

400

Which state of matter:

-flows easily

-expands to the size of the container it is in

-has no definite shape

-has no definite volume

gas

400

What is condensation?

A change of state from gas to liquid

400

What is the temperature at which a substance changes from liquid to solid called?

The freezing point

400

What is a non-Newtonian fluid?

A substance that doesn't behave like a regular liquid. (Doesn't follow Newton's law of viscosity). When a pressure or force is applied to it, the substance behaves like a solid. 

500

Explain how a natural material is processed with a specific example. 

Answers will vary.
500

Give as example of a solid, liquid, and a gas.

rocks, water, and air

500

What is both the melting and freezing point of water?

0 Degrees Celsius

500

What is the temperature at which a substance changes from liquid to gas called?

The boiling point

500

Give an example of a non-Newtonian fluid

Oobleck and quicksand
