Term
Definition
matter   anything that has mass and takes up space  
🗑
solid   matter with a definite shape and volume; it has loosely packed particles that vibrate  
🗑
liquid   matter with definite volume, but no definite shape; it has medium packed particles that move at medium speed  
🗑
gas   matter with no definite volume or shape; it has particles that move quickly in all directions  
🗑
plasma   a state of matter that only exists at extremely high temperatures; it is not common on Earth, but it is common on stars  
🗑
viscosity   a liquid's resistance to flow  
🗑
surface tension   the uneven forces acting on the particles on the surface of a liquid  
🗑
energy   the ability to do work or cause change  
🗑
kinetic energy   the energy of motion or energy that is being used  
🗑
potential energy   the energy of position or stored energy  
🗑
thermal energy   the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a sample of matter  
🗑
temperature   the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in a sample of matter  
🗑
heat   the movement of thermal energy from a substance of higher energy to a substance of lower energy  
🗑
melting   the process of changing from the solid state to the liquid state due to the absorption of thermal energy  
🗑
freezing   the process of changing from the liquid state to the solid state due to the lost of thermal energy  
🗑
vaporization   the process of changing from a liquid to a gas state due to the absorption of thermal energy  
🗑
condensation   the process of changing from a gas to a liquid due to the absorption of thermal energy  
🗑
force   a push or pull  
🗑
pressure   the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted; pressure = force/area  
🗑
buoyant force   the upward force exerted on an object immersed in a fluid  
🗑
Archimedes' Principle   states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object  
🗑
density   the mass of an object divided by its volume; density = mass/volume  
🗑
Pascal's Principle   states that when a force is applied to a confined fluid, an increase in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
