| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| matter | anything that takes up space and has weight |
| solid | a state of matter that has a definite shape, has mass, and volume |
| liquid | a state of matter that takes the shape of its container, has mass and volume, and often is invisible |
| gas | a state of matter that takes the shape of its container, has mass and volume, and often is invisible |
| conductor | an object that allows heat to pass through it (such as a metal spoon, metal pots and pans, etc.) |
| conductors flow from __. | hot objects to the cold objects. |
| In order for heat to transfer, the cold object must __ the hot object. | touch |
| insulator | an object that traps heat (such as blankets, clothes, socks, hats, fur on animals, feathers on birds, insulation in homes, wood ...) |
| evaporation | to change from a liquid state to a gas state ( ex. mud puddle that dries during the day --- the water evaporated |
| condensation | to change from a gas to a liquid ( ex. water that forms on the outside of a cup of iced tea |
| radiation | to feel the heat from a heat source ( ex. feeling heat from the sun, standing near a fire and feeling the heat of the flames) |
| What happens when water freezes? | It changes from a liquid to a solid, the water expands (gets bigger) but the mas does not change. This is exactly what happens when weathering occurs. |
| What happens when ice melts? | It changes from a solid to a liquid, the ice contracts (goes back to its original state of liquid) and the mass does not change! |
| increase | to have more |
| decrease | to have less |
| mass | the measure of how much something weighs |
| volume | the amount of space an object takes up such as the amount of liquid in a drink container |
