| Which types of molecules can move freely? | liquids and gases |
| Some types of molecules move freely and others cannot. What types of molecules cannot move freely? | solids |
| Liquids, gases, and solids are made of | molecules |
| Where does moisture on the outside of a cup of cold liquid come from? | water vapor in the air |
| Which cup feature helps maintain the temperature and mass of a hot liquid the most? | a lid |
| How does the lid on a cup affect the liquid inside the cup? | slows the loss of matter |
| Has mass and takes up space. | matter |
| A system that doesn't allow anything to enter or exit. | closed system |
| A system that allows things to enter and exit. | open system |
| Clear, can see through | transparent |
| Cannot see through | opaque |
| energy of motion | kinetic energy |
| the faster the particles move | more kinetic energy |
| less kinetic energy (temperature) | lower temperature |
| how kinetic energy is transferred | colliding molecules |
| heat is transferred (temperature) | hot to cold |
| A substance that reduces the transfer of thermal energy. | Insulation |
