Science - Matter

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
physical change   changes in appearance (phase change/dissolving)  
🗑
chemical change   a new product is formed ex: baking a cake, rusting metal, toasting a marshmallow  
🗑
law of conservation of mass   The principle stating that matter is not created or destroyed during a chemical reaction  
🗑
temperature   a measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance  
🗑
solid   state of matter that has a definite shape; definite volume; does not take the shape of the container  
🗑
plasma   no definite shape; no definite volume;  
🗑
liquid   no definite shape; definite volume; takes the shape of the container  
🗑
gas   no definite shape; no definite volume; takes the shape of the container  
🗑
plasma   no definite shape; no definite volume;  
🗑
melting point   point at which a solid becomes a liquid (water = 0 degrees Celcius)  
🗑
freezing point   point at which a liquid becomes a solid (water = 0 degrees Celcius)  
🗑
boiling point   point at which a liquid becomes a gas (water = 100 degrees Celcius)  
🗑
vaporization   going from a liquid to a gas. There are 2 types of vaporization 1)boiling and 2)evaporation  
🗑
sublimation   the direct change from being a solid to a gas....it skips being a liquid  
🗑
evaporation   Going from a liquid to a gas (only at the surface)  
🗑
Boyle's law   The pressure of a gas varies inversely with its volume at constant temperature  
🗑
Charles' Law   The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature under constant pressure  
🗑
pressure   As gas particles move, they bump into the sides of their container. The pressure of gas is the strength of its push on the walls of the container.  
🗑
viscosity   Measure of how much a liquid resists flow (remember viscosity races - ketchup)  
🗑
Crowded Dance floor - expansion of particles   imagine a bunch of people on a crowded dance floor....as they start moving, they begin to spill over onto the dance floor. As heated particles bump and move into each other, expansion occurs.  
🗑
Bunsen burner   Mixes air with natural gas producing a flame, blue flame is hotter, orange candle not as hot, the energy in candle goes to producing more light, less heat.  
🗑
Cunduct-o-meter   which substance will melt fastest? copper, brass, aluminum, steel, nickel Substances conduct heat at different rates  
🗑
Ball and ring experiment   when a ball is heated it expands and it no longer fits through the ring  
🗑
Bi-metal strip   different metals are fused together creating a strip... when heated it bends b/c different metals expand at different rates  
🗑
balloon expansion   a balloon expands when heated in the microwave when heated, particles move quicker, therefore expanding  
🗑
powerlines why are they created with the lines loose?   powerlines expand and contract with summer heat and winter weather  
🗑
bridges   bridges expand and contract with summer heat and winter weather therefore on one side of rolling bridges is in cement, the other is on rollers to allow for expansion and contraction  
🗑
sidewalks   cracks allow cement to expand and contract  
🗑
rail lines   rail lines are created in 20 feet sections to allow for expansion and contraction  
🗑
made own thermometer   liquid water contracted with cold temps and expanded with warmer temps (red)  
🗑
can boiling points vary?   Higher altitudes result in lower boiling points  
🗑
2 types of vaporization   going from a liquid to a gas is called vaporizations....there are 2 forms: 1. evaporation - particles at the surface to escape into the air 2. boiling - particles above and below surface escape into the air  
🗑
expansion   particles spread out due to heat (gets bigger)  
🗑
contraction   particles get closer together due to cold temps (gets smaller)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
