Matter Basics
What are the 3 states of matter?
Solid, Liquid, Gas
The amount of space an object takes up
Volume
Tearing paper is and example of this type of change.
Physical Change
If an object is less dense than water, it will do this
Float
A mixture where you can clearly see the different parts mixed together.
Heterogeneous mixture
Anything that has mass and takes up space is called......
Matter
The amount of matter in an object
Mass
When wood burns and turns into ash and smoke, this type of chnage occurs.
Chemical change
If an object is more dense than water, it will do this
Sink
A mixture where the substances are evenly mixed and look the same throughout.
Homeogeneous mixture
In this state of matter, particles are close together but are able to slide past each other.
Liquid
When scientists describe the size, shape, color, or texture of an object, they are describing this type of property.
Physical property
When water freezes into ice, the particles slow down but the substance is still water. What type of change?
Physical change
Scientists can find the volume of irregular objects using this method in water
Water displacement
A bowl of cereal with milk is an example of what type of mixture?
Heterogeneous mixture
Why is Air considered matter?
It has mass and takes up space (volume)
This property describes how something feels when you touch it.
Texture
When a pancake cooks on a pan and turns brown, the batter changes into a new substance. What type of change is this?
Chemical Change
One is more dense than the other
The substance that dissolves in a solution is called what
Solute
When water vapor cools and turns back into liquid water, this change of state occurs.
A property that describes how easily a substance can dissolve in water.
Solubility
A student mixes vinegar and baking soda and sees bubbles forming. This shows a new substance is being created. What type of change is this?
Chemical change
What is more dense water or honey?
Honey
The substance that does the dissolving in a solution is the
Solvent
