General Properties

properties of matter

QuestionAnswer
MATTER Anything that has mass and volume
PROPERTY Characteristic of a substance
MASS Amount of matter in an object A measure of the inertia in an object
WEIGHT Measure of matter that is based on where an object is in relation to its gravitational pull
VOLUME Amount of space an object takes up
DENSITY Measurement of how much mass is in a given amount of volume of an object (Formula for density - D = M/V)
GENERAL PROPERTIES Force of attraction between all objects in the universe
SPECIFIC PROPERTIES Describe the differences among the forms of matter
The 4 general properties of matter are.... Mass, Weight, Volume and Density
Mass is usually measured in Grams or Kilograms
The weight of an object can change (vary)... depending on where it is
Mass never changes unless .... matter is added or is taken away from the object
Gravitational pull between objects becomes less ... as the distance between objects increases
To measure liquid volume, the unit of measure used is liters and milliliters
To measure solid volume, the unit of measure used is cubic centimeters
The density of liquid water is 1 gram per milliliter ( 1 g/mL)
Objects that float in water have a density that is less than 1 g/mL
Objects that sink in water have a density that is greater than 1 g/mL
GRAVITY Force of attraction between all objects in the universe

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.
