| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| matter that does not have a definite volume or shape;the particles move very quickly. | Gas |
| The ability of a substance to dissolve when mixed with another substance. | Solubility |
| determines whether one substance will sink or float in another. Less dense = float More dense = sink | Relative Density |
| an object will float in water if its tiny particles are loosely packed & far apart. | Buoyant |
| the solid state of water | Ice |
| matter with definite volume & no definite shape | Liquid |
| the change in the state of water from a water vapor to a liquid | Condensation |
| the amount of space that matter takes up | Volume |
| Two factors that affect how quickly water evaporates. | Heat & Temperture |
| a change in the state from a liquid to a solid Water changes at : 0 degrees Celsius | Freezing Point |
| changes in which the form or shape of a substance changes but the substance keeps it's identity | Physical Change |
| a change in the state from a solid to a liquid Water boils at : 100 Degrees Celsius | Boiling point |
| The amount of matter in something | Mass |
| anything that has mass and takes up space; it has properties and can change form | Matter |
| matter with a definite volume and shape; the particles are close to one another | Solid |
| A measure of the energy of motion of the particles in a substance | Tempeture |
| the ability of an object to attract to iron or steel | magnetic |
| property used to describe how something feel | texture |
| property used to describe how something shines in the light | luster |
| gas state of water | water vapor |
| when a solid changes to a liquid | melting |
| when a liquid changes to a solid | freezing |
| an object will sink in water if it's tiny particles are close are close together | density |
| describe the object as a solid, liquid, or gas | state |
| a device that reflects light | mirror |
| a hand held tool that magnifies object | hand lens |
| a device used to measure liquid measure liquids accurately | graduated cylinder |
| a tool that uses a collection of lenses to magnify small objects. | microscope |

| a tool that shows the color spectrum | prism |
| a tool used to collect or capture things | collecting net |
| eye wear that protect the eyes | safety goggles |
| a device used to measure time | timing device |
| an instrument used to measure an objects mass | triple beam balance |
| can not be created or destroyed | energy |
| the energy in an object due to the position of an object | mechanical |
| the energy of moving particals that produce heat | thermal |
| is the form of energy that can be seen | light |
| the energy that can be heard caused by vibrations | sound |
| objects that allow almost all light to pass through | transparent |
| objects that allow some light to pass through | translucent |
| objects that allow no light to pass through | opaque |
