The definition of magnetism

Is an object attracted to a magnet?

100

The amount of space an object takes up

What is volume?

100

The three main states of matter

What are solid, liquid, and gas?


100

What does the word "relative" in "relative density" mean?

Density compared to something else (like water)

200

True or false: an iron nail can be separated from a heap of sand using a magnet

True

200

How much matter is in an object

What is matter?

200

In this state, an object can change its shape but not its volume

What is liquid?

200

What an object does when it is less dense than water

What is float?

300

True or false: iron filings can be cleaned from a jar of copper pennies using a magnet

True

300

The property of matter a student measures using grams on a triple balance beam

What is mass?

300

In this state, an object can change neither its shape nor its volume.

What is a solid?

300

What an object does when it is more dense than water

Sink
400

True or false: a small cobalt ring can be set apart from iron paperclips using a magnet

False

400

The difference between mass and weight

Weight is how "heavy" something is and depends on gravity (things weigh differently on earth and on Mars). Mass is how much "matter" is in an object (and is used in science because it never changes)

400

The state of matter for this picture:

What is a gas?

400

The density of a grain of rice is 1.452 g/mL. The density of water is 1 g/mL. 


Predict what will happen to the grain of rice if it is placed in a graduated cylinder full of water.

Sink

500

What are the three (or four) most common magnetic materials?

What are nickel, iron, cobalt (and some steels)?

500

This picture shows the displacement, or amount of change in position, of water that occurs when a toy ball is dropped into a graduated cylinder full of water.

What is the volume, in mL, of the ball?

What is 25mL

500

The process you can use to make an object change between states of matter

What is adding or removing heat?
