Matter
What is matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is a solid?
A solid is a state of matter that keeps its own shape and has a fixed volume.
What is melting?
Melting is the phase change from solid to liquid.
What is mass measured in?
Mass is measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg).
What is mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
What is a liquid?
A liquid is a state of matter that takes the shape of its container but has a fixed volume.
What is freezing?
Freezing is the phase change from liquid to solid.
What is volume measured in?
Volume is measured in liters (L) or milliliters (mL).
What takes up space?
Matter takes up space.
What is a gas?
A gas is a state of matter that fills the entire space of its container with no fixed shape or volume.
What is evaporation?
Evaporation is the phase change from liquid to gas.
Define mass.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Give an example of matter.
Trees, air, and water are examples of matter.
How do particles in liquids behave?
Liquids have particles that are close together but can move past each other, allowing them to flow.
What is condensation?
Condensation is the phase change from gas to liquid
How do you measure volume?
Volume can be measured using graduated cylinders or measuring cups.
How do particles behave?
Particles in matter are always moving.
What happens to particles in solids?
Particles in solids are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
Describe a phase change.
A phase change is when matter changes from one state to another, like ice melting into water.
Explain density
Density is how tightly packed the particles are in an object, calculated as mass per unit volume.
