| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Matter | anything that has mass and takes up space |
| Solid | matter that has a definite shape and takes up a definite amount of space |
| Liquid | matter that takes the shape of its container and takes up a definite amount of space |
| Gas | matter that has no definite shape and takes up no definite amount of space |
| Volume | the amount of space that matter takes up |
| Density | the property of matter that compares the amount of matter to the space taken up by the matter |
| Solution | a mixture in which the particles of different kinds of matter are mixed evenly with each other |
| Solubility | a measure of the amount of a material that wil dissolve in another material |
| Mass | the amount of matter in an object |
| Bouyancy | the ability of matter to float in a liquid or a gas |
| Gravity | the force that pulls all objects toward each other |
| Weight | the force of an object caused by the pull of gravity |
| It always remains the same, even if you go to the moon | Mass |
| It can change if you go into outer space | Weight |
| Measured in cubic units | volume |

| Food coloring moves slower | In cool water |
| Air | takes up space and has weight |
| Solid | Molecules packed tightly together |
| Liquid | Molecules spread slightly apart |

| Peeled orange | density more than 1 gram per cubic centimeter |
| Peeled orange | Sank in the water |
| Unpeeled orange | density of less than 1 gram per cubic centimeter |
| Water density | 1 gram per cubic centimeter |
| Unpeeled orange | Peel acts as a life jacket causing it to float |
| Earth's gravity | Pull creates weight of objects |
| Different ways to measure | Volume |
