a material with a particular chemical makeup pure substance
an object with a north and south pole that produces a magnetic field magnet
describes a substance that will break down another object upon contact corrosive
a state of matter without any defined volume or shape gas
a particular form that matter can take state of matter
an element or compound chemical
the physical matter of which living or nonliving things are composed substance
a natural, solid substance found in rocks; each mineral has a specific chemical makeup mineral
having to do with the eye or lenses optical
describes materials through which light can travel; materials that can be seen through transparent
having to do with electricity; a form of energy commonly used for lights, electric motors, and heating. electric
a material that transmits energy conductor
describes materials that allow some light to travel through them, but not enough to see through the material translucent
matter with a fixed volume and shape solid

a measure of how hot or cold a substance is temperature
a subatomic particle with a negative charge electron
a subatomic particle with no electric charge, located within the nucleus of the atom neutron
a subatomic particle with a positive charge that is located in the nucleus of an atom proton
a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions element
the chemical element consisting of one proton and one electron hydrogen
to bring together; to mix combine
two or more atoms joined together molecule
the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom; atomic number determines the chemical properties of the atom atomic number

density, volume, temperature, mass, weight, color, texture and odor physical properties of matter
wax melts in a candle energy (heat) added to matter
rain on the sidewalk becomes ice energy (heat) removed from matter
water turns to steam on the stove energy (heat) added to matter
3 states of matter solid, liquid and gas
Which state of matter has a lower density? gas
How can water change from one state to another? ice is heated to make water and water is heated to make steam
What will change the property of a material, such as water? changing the state of the material
An ice cube melts to become water in a cup. How are the ice cube and water alike? They have the same mass.
When would the property of a substance change? when you change the state

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
