Term | Definition |
Matter | Anything that takes up space (Volume and Mass) |
Energy | What makes everything in the world move, work and do things. |
Properties | Special features, traits, or attributes of materials found in the universe. |
Words to Describe Matter | Mass, volume, density, buoyancy, luster, color, shape, harness, smell and magnetism. |
Mass | How much stuff inside it (Not by weight.) |
Volume | The amount of space that something takes up |
Density | How much mass is in a certain volume of matter. |
Bouyancy | Ability of something to float. |
Magnetism | Objects that stick to a magnet are made up of iron. |
Archimedes | What scientist discovered watching water displace by an object was the way to measure volume? |
Displace | Replace matter with another kind of matter – or material |
Atoms | Particles that make up everything around you. |
Plasticity | A material can be changed into a different shape without breaking. |
Ductility | Whether or not the object can be made into a wire. |
Malleable | Bendable Materials. |
Freezing Point | The temperature that makes a liquid turn into a solid. |
Melting Point | The temperature that makes a solid turn into a liquid. |
Liquids | Substances that are free to flow, with no particular shape. |
Amorphous Solid | A solid without a shape (a=without;morph=shape) |
Non-Newtonian Liquid | A solid without a shape. |
Surface Tension | Molecules on the surface of the water stick together, they form an invisible 'skin'. |
Viscosity | The thickness or resistance to flow in a fluid. |
Solid | Anything that has a specific shape and size. |
Freezing Point of Water | 32 degrees Fahrenheit |
Melting Point of Water | Above 32 degrees Fahrenheit |
Boiling | Water atoms with all kinds of energy. |
Steam | Boiling water becoming a vapor. |
Boiling Point | The temperature that makes something change from a liquid to a gas. |
Gas | A state of matter with particles that do't have a specific volume or shape; the particles take on the volume and shape of the container. |
Compressed Gas | Gas energy that wants to take up a lot of volume and squeezed it into a tiny space. |
Condensation Point | When a gas becomes a liquid. |
