| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Something that you experience with your five senses | Observation |
| A decision you make based in your observations and questions | Inference |
| A prediction that you arrive at after making observations | Hypothesis |
| Anything that has mass and takes up space | Matter |
| The amount of matter in an object | Mass. Examples- Paper clip= 1G, Liter of milk= 1KG |
| What can you measure mass with? | A balance |
| What is the same everywhere in the universe | The mass of an object |
| The measure of the pull of gravity on an object's mass | Weight |
| What causes the weight of an object to not be the same everywhere in the universe? | Gravity |
| The mass of an object equals? | The total mass of it's parts |
| What is never lost but can change form? | Mass (solid, liquid, gas) |
| How can you make things appear larger than they are? | Magnify them |
| Name a tool that makes small objects appear larger? | Hand lens |
| Name a tool that makes tiny objects appear larger? | Microscope |
| All matter is made up of tiny particles called.... | Atoms |
| Atoms join together to form large particles called... | Molecules |
| A feature that can be observed directly or measured with a tool? | Physical property |
| Give some examples of physical properties | Color, texture, taste, volume, and density |
| The amount of space something takes up is it's.... | Volume |
| How can you measure something's volume? | Length x Width x Height |
| An object's mass divided by it's volume is it's ? | Density |
| If an object floats is it considered to be less or more dense than the liquid? | Less |
| If an object sinks is it considered to be less or more dense than the liquid? | More |
| State of matter that has a fixed volume and shape | Solid- examples are ice, block, chair, book |
| State of matter that has a fixed volume but not a fixed shape | Liquid- examples are water, tea, soap |
| State of matter that has no volume or fixed shape | Gas- Examples are helium, air, steam |
| Particles only vibrate and can't move- what am I? | Solid |
| Particles move enough to slide past each other- what am I? | Liquid |
| Particles bounce freely- what am I? | Gas |
| Have a positive charge and are located in the center of an atom? | Protons |
| Don't have a charge | Neutrons |
| Have a negative charge | Electrons |
| Dense body located in the center of an atom | Nucleus |
