Physical Properties
States of Matter
100

This term describes how much "stuff" or matter is inside an object.

Mass

100

This general term refers to the "lens" a person wears to see, think about, understand, and act in the world around them.

Worldview

100

This is the smallest particle of any substance.

Atom

100

This specific physical property describes what the surface of a substance feels like, such as rough, smooth, or coarse.

Texture

100

In this state of matter, particles are tightly packed together in a fixed position and can only vibrate in place.

Solid

200

This is the tool used to measure an object's mass in grams or kilograms.

Balance

200

This worldview holds the belief that God created the world and that the account in the Bible is true.

Biblical Worldview

200

Matter made up of only one kind of atom, such as pure gold or pure iron, is called this.

Element

200

This specific physical property measures how easily light bounces off the surface of a material.

Reflectivity

200

This state of matter has no definite shape and no definite volume, with particles moving rapidly to fill their container.

Gas

300

To calculate the volume of a regular rectangular shape without using water, you multiply these three dimensions together.

length x width x height

300

This worldview believes that Earth and space came into existence strictly on their own through natural processes without God.

Naturalistic Worldview

300

This particle is formed whenever two or more atoms join together.

Molecule
300

The ability of a substance to twist or bend easily without breaking is known as this physical property.

Flexibility

300

A liquid has a set amount of space it takes up (definite volume), but its shape can change because it does this when you pour it into a cup or a bowl.

Take the shape of the container

400

To measure the volume of an unusually shaped object, you submerge it in water and measure how high the water rises using this specific process.

Water Displacement

400

According to naturalistic beliefs, this event occurred about 14 billion years ago when all matter in the universe suddenly expanded from one tiny point.

Big Bang (Big Bang Theory)

400

Water H2O is classified as this because it is formed by combining atoms of different elements.

Compound

400

This physical property describes how tightly packed the matter is inside a given amount of space.

Density

400

This is the tool with equal line markings used to measure the volume of a liquid or a standard smooth sample.

Graduated Container (Or Graduated Cylinder)

500

This force determines an object's weight, which is why your weight would change on the Moon even though your mass stays the same.

Gravity

500

Because a worldview acts like "glasses" through which a person views reality, it influences these three things in a person's life: how they think, how they understand, and how they do this:

Act/Behave/Live

500

Pure Oxygen gas O2 is considered a molecule, but it is not a compound for this specific reason.

Even though the atoms are joined, they are the same element

500

Identifying physical properties like odor or color is beneficial because it allows scientists to safely do this without altering the substance.

Identify unknown substances
500

A substance that retains both its original shape and its original volume regardless of the container it is placed in must be in this state of matter.
