Science Unit 4 Study

QuestionAnswer
What is a physical change? Change the way something looks, does not create anything new (tearing paper, shaping clay)
What is a chemical change? A chemical change when two or more substances combine and create something new. Rate of the change is affected by temperature. (baking cake, rusting, yeast reacting with water & sugar, baking soda and vinegar)
How does temperature affect chemical change? Decreasing temperature slows down chemical change
Whats the difference between Physical and Chemical change? Physical change s change the way something looks, does not create anything new. Chemical change is when 2 ore more substances combine and create something new (baking a cake, rusting, yeast reacting with water & sugar, baking soda, & vinegar.
What is the state of matter for solids? particles are packed very tight together, not a lot of energy; fixed volumen and shape
What is the state of matter for liquid? particles can flow past one another, more energy; fixed volume, takes the shape of container.
What is the state of matter for gas? particles are all over the place, lots of energy; no fixed volume or shape
How does temperature affect water? boiling and evaporation (add heat) - phase change that turns water into water vapor
How does temperature affect gas? Condensation (remove heat, add cold) - phase change that turns gas into liquid
How does temperature affect liquid? Melting (add heat)- phase change that turns a solid into a liquid
What factors affect whether a substance will dissolve in another substance? Temperature, size of the particle being dissolved, stir time
Will salt dissolve in water? Yes
Will sand dissolve in water? No
What is the difference between mixtures and solutions? Mixtures are 2 ormore substances that keep their identities; can easily be separated. Solutions are mixtures that have th same composition throughout; cannot easily be separated (lemondade, salt water, food coloring in water.
What are some examples of mixtures? bowl of salad, trail mix, pile of laundry
What are some examples of solutions? lemonade, salt water, food coloring in water
Are all solutions mixtures? Yes
Are all mixtures solutions? No
What are atoms? smallest particles of matter; has mass and takes up space; can be seen with magnifcation.
How can you see an atom? With magnification
Which subatomic particles make up an atom? protons, neutrons electrons
What is a proton? found in the nucleus, positive charge; same as the atomic
What are neutrons? found in nucleus, neutral or no charge
What are electrons? found orbiting the nucleus in electron cloud, negative charge
What is density? mass divided by volume
What does the density determine? whether an object will float or sink in water
What will happen to objects with a density greater than 1? They will sink
What will happen to objects with density less than 1? They will float
What will happen to objects with larger masses? They will sink
What will happen to objects with smaller masses? They may float, depending on the volume

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
