Ashie's Science Final

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

Term
Definition
Matter   made up of extremely small particles that make up atoms & molecules that are always in motion.  
🗑
All matter   has energy.  
🗑
Matter   anything that has mass & volume.  
🗑
meter   SI unit for measuring length  
🗑
grams (or kilograms)   SI Unit for measuring mass  
🗑
liters   SI Unit for measuring volume  
🗑
Scientific method   set of steps scientists use to answer questions and solve problems.  
🗑
Densest liquids   settle to the bottom of a container  
🗑
Least dense liquids   float on top of container  
🗑
Density of water   One  
🗑
Chemical changes   the composition of matter changes.  
🗑
Physical changes   do not change the composition of matter.  
🗑
Crystalline solids   have particles in repeating patterns of rows  
🗑
Amorphous solids   have an irregular pattern of particles.  
🗑
Three properties of Gases   Have particles that are 1) very fast moving 2) spread far apart 3) have no definite shape or volume.  
🗑
Evaporation   liquid becomes a gas. E.g. Puddle of water becoming water vapor  
🗑
Condensation   gas to a liquid. E.g. water drops on a cold glass  
🗑
Compound   Two or more elements join together chemically to form a new substance.  
🗑
Two examples of chemical properties   1) flammability and 2) reactivity to oxygen or acid.  
🗑
Soluble   Substance can be dissolved in water.  
🗑
Solutions   Formed when two or more substances are evenly mixed.  
🗑
Speed is determined by what two factors   distance and time.  
🗑
Velocity is determined by what 3 factors   1) distance 2) time and 3) direction.  
🗑
Balanced forces   Have a net force of Zero Newtons.  
🗑
Gravitational force   Determined by mass and distance.  
🗑
The greater the mass   the greater the gravity (e.g. sun [large] vs moon [small]).  
🗑
The closer the distance   the stronger the gravity (e.g. sun's pull on Earth vs Pluto).  
🗑
The Law of Conservation of momentum   states that when objects collide the total amount of momentum stays the same.  
🗑
(In the absence of air resistance) why do all objects fall to the ground at the same rate   Because the acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects on earth.  
🗑
Newton’s 1st law of motion (law of inertia)   an object at rest will remain at rest / an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.  
🗑
Atom   The smallest particle which an element can be divided and still be the same substance.  
🗑
Nucleus of an atom is   dense & positively charged.  
🗑
Electrons are where?   In the electron cloud.  
🗑
Isotopes   Atoms that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.  
🗑
groups or families   Vertical columns on the periodic table  
🗑
periods   horizontal rows on the periodic table  
🗑
Metals   Elements to the left of the zigzag line of the periodic table.  
🗑
Nonmetals   Elements to the right of the zigzag line of the periodic table (these make up the majority of the elements in the periodic table).  
🗑
Metalloids   Elements that scatter either side of the zigzag line of the periodic table  
🗑
Mendeleev   Arranged the elements by increasing atomic mass  
🗑
Henry Mosley   Arranged the current periodic table by increasing atomic number.  
🗑
How can you tell a chemical change has occurred   a new substance with different properties from the original substances is formed.  
🗑
Reactants   are before the arrow in a chemical equation  
🗑
Products   are after the arrow in a chemical equation.  
🗑
The Law of Conservation of Mass   Mass cannot be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.  
🗑
When counting atoms   if no subscript is written it is assumed to be one atom.  
🗑
Acids   1) have a sour taste & 2) turn blue litmus paper red.  
🗑
Bases   1) have a bitter taste 2) feel slippery & 3) turn litmus paper blue.  
🗑
pH above 7   bases.  
🗑
pH equals 7   neutral  
🗑
pH below 7   acids  
🗑
Why are telescopes put in space   to avoid interference from Earth’s atmosphere.  
🗑
One rotation of Earth happens   Every 24 hours.  
🗑
365 ¼ days (1 year)   One revolution (orbit) of Earth around the sun  
🗑
29 ½ days (1 month)   One orbit of moon around the Earth  
🗑
Color of a star depends on   its temperature.  
🗑
Phases of the moon are caused by   the relative positions of the moon Earth and the sun.  
🗑
Total solar eclipse   when the shadow of the moon falls on the Earth.  
🗑
How did the moon form   A large planet sized body struck the Earth - called the Collision Ring Theory.  
🗑
Why do we only see one side of the moon (the near side)   The moon’s period of rotation is equal to its period of revolution  
🗑


   

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.
