What two vocabulary words can be used to describe what matter is? Explain.
Mass and Volume= Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space

8. A force of gravity between Earth and an object
What is weight?
A force of gravity between Earth and an object

9. What measurement is used to measure weight?
pounds

10. What is the same as pounds?
One newton=0.22 pounds
4.45 newton=1 pound

11. What is the force of pull when dealing with weight?
gravity

12. What does an object’s weight depend on?
Location in the universe

13. Mass=Same Weight=Different
What stays the same as the astronauts go from Earth to the moon? What changes?
Mass=Same
Weight=Different

14. How does the astronaut’s weight on the Moon compare with the astronaut’s weight on Earth?
Weigh less on the Moon

15. What are the two properties of matter?
Mass and Volume

16. A measure of how tightly packed the matter is in an object.
What is density?
A measure of how tightly packed the matter is in an object.

17. How do you calculate density?
Mass divided by Volume
Ex: Mass 2g
Volume 2mL
2 divided by 2= 1 g per mL

18. What does high density mean? Also, draw a picture.
Many particles are tightly packed in a given area.

19. What does low density mean? Also, draw a picture.
A few particles fill the same amount of space.

20. What type of particles tend to be tightly packed together?
solids

21. What type of particles tend to spread apart?
Liquids or gases

22. List gas, solid, and liquid in order from most dense to the lease dense?
Solid, liquid, gas

23. Why is water special?
Solid water, ice, is less dense than liquid water. The particles in ice are more spread out than the particles in liquid water.

24. What determines an object’s ability to sink or float?
density

25. What word describes an object’s ability to float?
buoyancy

26. When will an object sink?
When they are more dense than water.

27. Allow energy to flow through them easily
What does conduct mean?
Allow energy to flow through them easily

28. What does insulate mean?
Do not allow energy to pass through

29. What type of items conduct energy?
Metals

30. What should cooking pots and pans have on them and why?
Wooden and ceramic handles so you do not get burnt

31. Why are metals good conductors?
They conduct heat and electricity very well

32. What does the plastic on the wire help with?
Works as an insulator around the wire

33. Name some items that are insulators.

34. What does magnetic mean?
The push or pull on objects.

35. What two ends of a magnet attract? What two repel?
Attract= Positive and Negative
Repel= Positive and Positive
Negative and Negative

36. Have very low density and great strength
What are aerogels?
Have very low density and great strength
Used to insulate windows

37. What are the four properties of matter?
Density
Buoyancy
Conductivity
Magnetism

38. Mass=Same Weight=Less on Moon
If a rock was taken from Earth to the Moon, how would its mass and weight be affected?
Mass=Same
Weight=Less on Moon

39. What are the three states of matter?
Solids, liquids, gases

40. What can change substances into different states of matter?
Adding or removing heat

41. Draw a picture of a solid, liquid, and gas?

42. Eventually separate and become liquid
When a solid has particles than begin moving faster and faster, what is going to happen to the solid?
Eventually separate and become liquid

43. When a liquid has particles that being to move faster and faster, what is going to happen to the liquid?
Become gas

44. What is melting point?
solid to liquid

45. Changes from a liquid to a gas
What is boiling point?
Changes from a liquid to a gas

46. What does condenses mean?
Turns from gas to a liquid

47. What does freeze mean?
Liquid to a solid

48. What is another word for melting point?
Freezing point

49. How is evaporation different from boiling?
Evaporation=Gradual change from liquid to gas
Boiling=Rapid change when heat is added

50. What are the properties of solids?
Retain (Keep) their shape
Same volume
Not a fluid

51. What are the properties of liquids?
Settle to the bottom of container
Definite volume
A fluid

52. What are the properties of gases?
No definite volume
Takes the shape of container
A fluid

53. To spread out when items get hotter
What is expansion?
To spread out when items get hotter

54. To shrink when items cool
What is contraction?
To shrink when items cool

55. How does a thermometer use expansion and contraction?
The liquid in a thermometer expand when temperature rise, and contract when temperature decrease.

56. Give another example of expansion in every day life?
You write down some examples!
