What does it mean if an object is attracted to a magnet?

Back

If an object is attracted to a magnet, it means the object is made of magnetic materials, such as iron.

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does not conduct electricity well. For example, rubber is an insulator.

Front

What does it mean if an object sinks in water?

Back

If an object sinks in water, it means the object is more dense than water.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process where gas changes into a liquid, often resulting in cloud formation.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume. It determines whether an object will float or sink in a fluid.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it easily. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is buoyancy?

Back

Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float in a fluid. It depends on the object's density compared to the fluid.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process where a liquid changes into a gas, usually due to heat.
