Energy
100

Anything that has mass and takes up space.

Matter

100

This state of matter has a fixed (unchanging) shape and volume.

Solid

100

This phase change occurs when a solid changes to a liquid

Melting

100
How do atoms in a liquid move?

They move around each other.

100

The ability to apply force or cause change.

Energy

200

The most basic building block of matter.

Atoms

200

This state of matter flows and takes the shape of its contained.

Liquid

200

This phase change occurs when a liquid turns to a solid

Freezing

200

How do atoms in a gas move?

They move away from each other or apart.

200

Energy of Motion

Kinetic Energy

300

The amount of space something takes up.

Volume

300

This state of matter has no visible shape and fills its container.

Gas

300

This phase change occurs when a liquid changes to a gas.

Evaporation

300

This force pulls atoms towards each other

Molecular Attraction

300

This energy powers our homes.

Electric Energy

400

The total amount of matter in an object (We use this measurement instead of weight)

Mass

400

In which state of matter do atoms vibrate (move in place)?

Solid

400

This phase change occurs when a gas changes to a liquid.

Condensation

400

How are temperature and the movement of atoms related?

When atoms move faster, temperature increases.

400

This energy comes from the sun.

Solar Energy or Light Energy

500

Two or more atoms bonded together.

Molecule

500

Which state of matter has overcome the forces of molecular attraction.

Gas

500
What causes changes in phase?

Changes in temperature (thermal energy)

500

If a substance does not freeze easily, what does that mean it has?

Low Molecular Attraction

500

This energy comes from location or position. (Its friend is kinetic)

Potential Energy
