| WHMIS | Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System; a system of hazard symbols |
| Fluid | Matter that has no fixed shape (takes shape of container) and can flow; gas is a fluid |
| Pneumatic System | A system of using gas and pressure to move loads |
| Pure Substance | Only made of one type of matter |
| Mixture | Made of two or more types of matter |
| Mechanical Mixture | A mixture where you can see the different parts |
| Heterogeneous Mixture | A type of mixture where the different parts can be seen |
| Solution | A mixture of two or more pure substances that looks like one |
| Homogeneous Mixture | A type of mixture that looks like only one substance |
| Suspension | A cloudy mixture with big particles (that can be filtered out) that are held within another substance |

| Solute | Substance that gets dissolved to make a solution |
| Solvent | Substance that dissolves the solute to make a solution |
| Concentration | The amount of solute in a specific amount of solvent |
| Unsaturated Solution | A solution where more solute can be dissolved in |
