States of Matter
This state of matter has a definite shape and volume.
What is a solid?
A change where matter changes shape or size but no new matter forms.
What is a physical change?
Tiny pieces of matter too small to be seen.
What are particles?
Water changing from liquid to solid is called this.
What is freezing?
Information that supports a scientific claim.
What is evidence?
This state of matter takes the shape of its container but keeps the same volume.
What is a liquid?
Crushing a can is an example of this kind of change.
What is a physical change?
Scientists use these to explain things too big or small to see directly.
What are models?
Water changing from gas to liquid is called this.
What is condensation?
Condensation on a cold window is evidence that this is in the air.
What is water vapor?
This state of matter spreads out to fill any container.
What is a gas?
When ice changes into liquid water, it is called this.
What is melting?
A balloon expanding provides evidence that air takes up this.
What is space?
Morning dew forms because water vapor does this.
What is condenses?
A globe is a model of this
What is Earth?
Water changes into this state when it evaporates.
What is a gas (water vapor)?
The amount of matter gained or lost during a physical change.
What is none?
Sugar seems to disappear in water because it does this.
What is dissolve?
This process changes liquid water into water vapor.
What is evaporation?
Heating water helps sugar dissolve faster because particles move this way.
What is faster?
Ice floats because it has a lower ______ than liquid water.
What is density?
This scientific idea says matter is conserved during physical changes.
What is conservation of matter?
When dissolved salt water evaporates, this is left behind.
What is salt crystals?
The three common states of matter are solids, liquids, and this.
What are gases?
Matter is made of particles too small to be seen—this is the main scientific claim of Chapters 3 and 4.
What is matter / is made of small particles?
