We know that air has matter because it has these two things

Mass and takes up space

100

Anything that has mass and takes up space

Matter

100

This heats the air inside the hot air balloon

fire or flame or burner

100

The part of the hot air balloon that holds the people

Cargo Basket

200

State of matter with no shape or volume and particles that are very spread out

gas

200

When air particles are heated up, their motion does what?

Increases

200
This is the amount of matter in an object

Mass

200

This is what happens to gas in a container when we add thermal energy

Expand

200

This is the part that you increase or decrease to make the balloon rise or fall

flame or burner

300

Flow of thermal energy from matter with a high temperature to matter with a lower temperature

Heat

300

Air particles do this when they are heated

Expand

300

These three things do not have matter

Energy, light, and sound

300

When the air inside the envelope is cooled, the air particles do this.

Gas

500

This is what happens to the volume and shape of air particles in a container.

They spread out and fill the shape and volume of the container

500

As this type of energy increases, the air particles increase so they move faster.
