CISD 5th Matter

5th Grade Matter Vocab

TermDefinition
mass the amount of matter in an object
triple beam balance tool that is used to measure the mass of an object
Magnetism the ability of matter to attract to a MAGNET
solubility the ability to DISSOLVE in a liquid
electrical conductor material that ALLOWS the flow of electricity
electrical insulator material that STOPS or SLOWS downs the flow of electricity
relative density how dense a substance is compared to water; The deeper it is, the more density it has. So if it sinks, it is more dense. If it floats, it is less dense.
What are the 3 PHYSICAL states of matter? Solid, liquid, and gas
solid 1 of the 3 states of matter; particles are tightly packed definite shape and definite volume
liquid 1 of the 3 states of matter; particles can move since they are not as tight as in solids; take the shape of any container; INDEFINITE shape and DEFINITE volume
gas 1 of the 3 states of matter; particles move freely; INDEFINITE shape and INDEFINITE volume
matter Anything that has mass and takes up space
Physical Properties Characteristics of a substance that can be observed and measured without changing the substance into something else (color, length, height, weight, mass, hardness, taste, conduct heat, conduct sound, conduct electricity, magnetism).
How do you measure the mass of an object? Using a triple beam balance; measured in grams
weight the measure of the pull of gravity of an object
volume the amount of SPACE that an object takes up
density the concentration (compactness) of matter in an object.
Name some examples of electrical insulators. Glass Porcelain Plastic Rubber
Name some examples of electrical conductors Copper Aluminum Platinum Gold Silver Water
mixture a combination of two or more ingredients or substances
solution a mixture of two ingredients or substances in which one dissolves in the other; the materials can be difficult to separate.
definite stays the same
indefinite does not stay the same; changes
If a substance floats in water, it is ________ dense than water. less
If a substance sinks in water, it is ________ dense than water. more

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.
