Properties of Solids, Liquids, and Gases

Front

Properties of Solids

Back

Solids are rigid, have a fixed shape and volume, and cannot be squashed.

Front

Properties of Gases

Back

Gases are not rigid, have no fixed shape or volume, and can be squashed.

Front

Step 1 in measuring liquids

Back

Measure the container on the scale.

Front

Step 2 in measuring liquids

Back

Pour liquid into container and measure again.

Front

Formula for liquid measurement

Back

Total measurement - container = liquid measurement

Front

Thermal energy is transferred from hot to cold.

Back

Heat energy moves from warmer matter to cooler matter until a balanced temperature is reached.

Front

Examples of thermal conductors and insulators

Back

Thermal conductors include materials like copper, aluminum, and gold, which allow heat to move easily through them. Thermal insulators include materials like wood, foam, and plastic, which do not allow heat to pass through easily.

Front

Thermal conductors

Back

Allow heat to move easily through the material. Used when you want something to heat up quickly and easily.

Examples: Aluminum, Copper, and Steel

Front

Thermal insulators

Back

Do not allow heat to pass through. Used in situations where you want heat to be retained and not transferred easily.

Examples: Wood, Rubber, Glass

What colors help to reflect heat from the sun.

Back

Light colors are effective at reflecting sunlight, keeping surfaces cooler.
