Term
Definition
mass   This is the amount of matter in an object.  
🗑
volume   This is the amount of space an object takes up or can hold.  
🗑
density   This is how compact an object or substance is.  
🗑
triple-beam balance   This is an instrument used to measure mass.  
🗑
graduated cylinder   This is a measuring instrument for the volume of fluids.  
🗑
physical change   This is a change in appearance or phase that does not change the chemical composition.  
🗑
chemical change   This is a change in the chemical composition of an object or substance.  
🗑
proton   This is a subatomic particle located in the nucleus. It has a positive charge.  
🗑
neutron   This is a subatomic particle located in the nucleus. It has no charge.  
🗑
electron   This is the smallest subatomic particle. They have a negative charge and are located in the electron rings.  
🗑
balanced force   This means that the net force on an object is zero, and the object is not moving.  
🗑
unbalanced force   This means that the net force on an object is greater than zero, and the object is moving.  
🗑
Newton's 1st law   This law states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.  
🗑
Newton's 2nd law   This law states that the mass of an object is inversely proportional to its acceleration, and the force on an object is directly proportional to its acceleration.  
🗑
Newton's 3rd law   This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.  
🗑
atom   These are the building block and most simple unit of matter. They cannot be broken down further.  
🗑
molecule   These form when two or more atoms bond together chemically.  
🗑
speed   This is the distance that something travels in a given amount of time.  
🗑
velocity   This is speed in a certain direction.  
🗑
acceleration   This is a change in speed or direction.  
🗑


   

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.
