🗑
Archimedes Principle   the buoyant force of an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object  
🗑
buoyancy   the ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object  
🗑
Bernoulli's Principle   as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by a force decreases  
🗑
Venturi Effect   the faster a fluid moves, the less pressure it exerts (through narrow spaces)  
🗑
Boyle's Law   If you decrease the volume of a container, the pressure of the gas will increase, provided the temperature doesn't change  
🗑
Charles' Law   the volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature, provided the pressure does not change  
🗑
Solid   definite shape and volume; tightly packed particles; not enough kinetic energy to move out of position; cannot be squeezed into smaller spaces  
🗑
Liquid   definite volume; no definite shape; takes to the shape of their container; particles held close together; can move over and around each other; cannot be squeezed into a smaller place  
🗑
Gas   no definite shape; no definite volume; particles have enough kinetic energy to separate completely from each other; can be squeezed into a smaller space  
🗑
Plasma   exists only at very high temperatures; eletrically charged particles; 99.9% of the universe  
🗑
Condensation   gas to liquid; temperature down  
🗑
evaporation   liquid to gas; at temperatures below freezing; temperature up  
🗑
vaporization   boiling at or above the boiling point  
🗑

🗑
thermal expansion   almost all matter expands when heated and contracts when cooled  
🗑
cyrstal   the arrangement of particles in repeating geometric patterns  
🗑
kinetic theory of matter   all matter is made up of tiny particles in constant motion  
🗑
physical changes   changes in matter that does not change its identity  
🗑
chemical changes   the change of one substance in a material into another substance  
🗑
physical properties   any characteristic you can observe without changing the substance  
🗑

🗑
solute   the susbtance being dissolved or broken down  
🗑
solvent   the substance that dissolves the solute  
🗑
solubility   the amount of solute that will dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature
