Something about matter that you can observe with one or more of your senses.

Pressure

force per unit area that is applied to a substance.

Element

matter consisting of a single type of particle.

Atom

Smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element

Periodic Table

Arrangement of elements based on their properties.

Mass

Amount of matter an object has.

Volume

Amount of space an object takes up.

Density

the amount of matter in a given space

Buoyancy

The ability of matter to float in a liquid or gas.

Volume is measured using a balance (True or False)

True

To compare the density of two solid objects, you need to know their _______ and _________

Mass and volumes

Metric rulers are used to measure length (True or False)

True

Magnifying glasses and hand lenses are used to observe very small objects (True or False)

True

What is the effect of placing an object with a "greater" density than water in a bucket of water?

the object with greater density will sink to the bottom of the bucket of water.

An object’s_________ is the amount of matter it has.

Buoyancy

Anything that takes up space and has weight is _________.

Matter

Elements are arranged in a ________ based on their properties.

Periodic Table

An object’s _____________ is a measure of the amount of matter the object has in a certain amount of space.

Density

Matter that has only one kind of atom is a ______________________.

Element

List the two properties of matter that are needed to measure density and explain why you need to measure both

Two properties are: Mass and Volume. You need to measure both to tell the kinds of matter apart.

List the following metric units from smallest to largest: Meter, millimeter, kilometer, centimeter.

Millimeter, Centimeter, Meter, Kilometer

An object falls into a pond and sinks. What do you know about the density of the object?

The object has less density than the water.

How many states of matter can we observe?

3; Color, Shapes and Sizes

How are an object’s mass and weight different

An objects mass is the same no matter where it is. an objects weight is different depending where the place is at.

What tool do we use to measure the mass of an object?

Balance

What is mass?

the amount of matter it has in it.

What is volume?

Amount of space that the object takes up.

What is density?

Measure of matter in a certain amount of space.

In an object floats in water, what does that tell you about its density?

It has less density than water.

What two properties do you need to measure in order to determine the density of an object?

Volume and mass

What is buoyancy?

How well an object floats in a gas or liquid.

How would you measure the volume of a liquid.

You would use a cup with numbered units on its side or a graduated cylinder.

How could you measure the volume of a box?

Find out how many cubes of one size would fit inside the box.

What is the basic metric unit for length?

Meter

What units are used to measure shorter lengths?

Centimeter

What is a basic unit to measure the volume of solids called?

Cubic unit

What tool would you use to measure the dimensions (length) of a room.?

Metric rulers and tapes

What are the basic metric units of measure for length, from smallest to largest?

Centimeters or millimeters for short lenghts Kilometers for longer distances.

We measure mass with a ____________.

Balance

The basic unit of mass is the ________.

Gram

An object’s mass is the same everywhere, but its weight may be different (True or False)

True

We measure volume by measuring the amount of space that an object occupies. (True or False)

True

We measure volume with a ___________.

Graduated cylinder

The basic unit of volume is the _______

Liter

Density is a measure of the amount of matter (mass) in a certain amount of space (volume). (True or False)

True

One way to study density is by observing buoyancy, like

object’s ability to float in a gas or a liquid (rubber duck floating in water)

Length can be measured with ___________.

metric rulers and tapes

The basic unit of length is the _______.

meter

Hand lens

What ______ keeps its shape. Its particles are packed tightly together and jiggle, or vibrate, in place.

Solid

What _______ takes the shape of its container. Its particles are loosely connected and flow past one another.

Liquid

What ______ has no shape and expands to fill all available space. Its particles bounce off one another as they move freely.

Gas
