Classifying Matter Common Objects in Nanometers (nm)
Classifying Matter Atoms and Molecules Molecules are made up of groups of atoms. How many atoms are in each of these molecules?
Classifying Matter Compounds From Elements What are the properties of copper, sulfur, and copper sulfide?
Classifying Matter Mixtures Which of these foods are heterogeneous and which are homogeneous?
Classifying Matter Separating Mixtures Which type of separation method is used in each of these situations?
Measuring Matter Measuring Weight Use the weight of the first scale to estimate the weight of the fish on the other scales.
Measuring Matter Measuring Mass What is the mass of each object, measured in kilograms?
Measuring Matter Calculating Volume What is the volume of the suitcase?
Measuring Matter Measuring Irregular Objects One way to measure the volume of an irregular object is to submerge it in liquid in a graduated cylinder.
Measuring Matter Density Liquids can form layers based on density. Which colored layer of liquid represents Water: 1.g/ml, Honey: 1.36 g/ml, Dish Soap: 1.03 g/ml, Corn Syrup: 1.33 g/ml, Vegetable oil: 0.91 g/ml?
Changes in Matter Examples of Chemical Change
Changes in Matter Conservation of Mass Count the atoms of each element before and after the chemical change.
Changes in Matter Temperature of Two Reactions What are the changes in temperatures for each reaction during the ten minutes? Can you predict what the changes will be after 10 minutes?
Changes in Matter Indiana Jane and the Investigation of Matter Indiana Jane is hunting for lost treasures of matter. Broken clay pot Field notes: I’ve come across some clay pots. Many have been broken or cracked over time.—IJ Yellowed, torn map Field notes: The paper of this ancient map has suffered from changes over the years making it nearly impossible to read.—IJ
States of Matter Solid The particles that make up a solid are packed very closely together.
States of Matter Types of Solids Use the Venn diagram to compare the characteristics of amorphous and crystalline solids.
States of Matter Liquid Liquid takes the shape of its container, but its volume does not change.
States of Matter Gas A gas takes the shape and volume of its container.
States of Matter Temperature of a Gas Why do hot gas particles move faster than cold gas particles?
Changes of State Liquid to a Gas The graph shows the temperature of a small pot of water on a stove set to high heat.
Changes of State Melting Which circle of molecules represents water, and which represents ice?
Changes of State Types of Vaporization Liquid water changes to water vapor by either evaporation or boiling. What are the types of vaporization occurring in each flask?
Changes of State The Changing States of Water Why does a substance change states?
