States of Matter
This state of matter holds its own shape.
What is a solid?
This is the name for when a solid changes into a liquid.
What is melting?
Anything that takes up space and has weight is called this.
What is matter?
This word describes a characteristic of matter you can observe or measure, like color or texture.
What is a property?
This state of matter takes the shape of its container but keeps the same amount of space.
What is a liquid?
This is the name for when a liquid changes into a solid.
What is freezing?
When matter changes from one state to another, this is what it's called.
What is a phase change?
This is the word for how much matter something has.
What is mass?
This state of matter spreads out to fill its space and usually can't be seen.
What is a gas?
This is the name for when a liquid changes into a gas.
What is evaporation?
This is the name for a material that can act like both a solid and a liquid, depending on force.
What is non-Newtonian fluid?
This is the word for how much space something takes up.
What is volume?
Are the particles in a liquid more tightly packed than in a gas, or more loosely packed?
More tightly packed than a gas
This is the name for when a gas changes into a liquid.
What is condensation?
In our oobleck lab, oobleck acted like this state of matter when you squeezed it fast.
What is a solid?
This word describes whether something floats or sinks, based on how tightly packed its matter is.
What is density?
Why does a gas spread out to fill its container, based on how its particles move?
Because gas particles move quickly and spread far apart
When a solid is heated and its particles move faster and spread apart, what phase change is happening?
In our fizzy tablet lab, the bubbles that formed were this state of matter.
What is a gas?
True or False: mass and volume are both examples of physical properties.
