The change from a liquid to a solid, or the reverse of melting, is called _____.
freezing
When the particles in a gas cool enough to form a liquid, ________ occurs.
condensation
Name 2 physical changes that could occur to a t-shirt
Various answers.
The state of matter in which the particles spread apart and fill the space available is called a ________, which does not have a definite shape or volume.

The change of state when the particles of a solid gain enough energy to break free and become a liquid is called _______.
melting
For water to change from one state to another, ________ must be added or taken away
energy
To change states of matter, a change in _________ is needed
energy, temperature
As a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, the distance between its particles________
increases
Give at least 2 pieces of evidence that a chemical change has occured
Release or taking in of energy, change in color, change in smell, a new substance is formed
Vaporization (liquid changing to gas) that takes place only at the surface of a liquid is called ________.
evaporation
Explain what happens to a puddle from a rainstorm on a sunny day.
Evaporation takes place. The sun heats up the puddle and the particles of the liquid gain enough thermal energy to become a gas on the surface. This continues to happen until the puddle dries up completely.
Water evaporating in a boiling pot of a water is an example of a ___________ change
Physical
The scientific name for a substance that can behave like both a liquid and a solid, depending on the amount of force applied to it (Ooblec is an example)
Non-Newtonian Fluid
__________ is the name given to the process when a liquid vaporizes (become a gas) throughout the whole liquid, not just on the surface.
Boiling
When enough energy is taken in by a liquid, the particles form a gas. The scientific name for this process is __________.
vaporization
Is digesting food considered a physical or chemical change?
Chemical Change
Explain or draw a labeled diagram showing how the movement of particles differs in gases, liquids, and solids.
Solids - particles are tightly packed, slightly vibrating. Liquids - particles are closely packed but freely moving around each other. Gases - particles move freely and in all directions, filling the entire space of the container.
