Matter
The number of forms of matter on Earth
3
The form of matter containing particles that stay close together all the time.
SOLID
When the temperature drops, turning a liquid into a solid.
FREEZING
To divide objects into groups
CLASSIFICATION
The tiny particles that make up matter
ATOMS
The form of matter containing particles that are close, but move around a little.
LIQUID
When the temperature goes up, turning a solid into a liquid.
MELTING
What we use to classify objects (Not buildings!)
PROPERTIES
Atoms are made up of these
MOLECULES
The form of matter where particles stay far apart from each other, never touching.
GAS
When the surface of a LIQUID turns into a GAS because the temperature went UP
EVAPORATION
The way an object feels (Squishy, soft, rough)
TEXTURE
Matter has weight, which is also called...
MASS
Metal and wood are examples of which form of matter?
SOLIDS
When a GAS changes to a LIQUID because the temperature went DOWN (when your soda can sweats)
CONDENSATION
Ways we can classify objects and matter
By SHAPE, COLOR, or SIZE (to name a few)
The amount of space matter takes up (Think about what we learned in math!)
VOLUME
Clouds and fumes from gasoline are examples of which form of matter?
GASSES
When a GAS turns into a SOLID because the temperature goes DOWN (Ex: Soot in a chimney)
DEPOSITION
The purpose of an object, or what we USE it for
