Matter Test Read Aloud (5.PS1)

Front

What is matter?

Back

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. It can exist in different states, such as solid, liquid, and gas.

Front

What are the three states of matter?

Back

The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a definite shape nor volume.

Front

What happens to water particles when heat is added?

Back

When heat is added to water, the particles gain energy, move faster, and can change from solid (ice) to liquid (water) or from liquid to gas (water vapor).

Front

What is the process of melting?

Back

Melting is the process where a solid turns into a liquid when it is heated.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process where liquid water turns into water vapor (gas) when it is heated.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process where water vapor (gas) cools down and turns back into liquid water.

Front

What is a solution?

Back

A solution is a mixture where one substance (solute) is dissolved in another (solvent), such as sugar in water.

Front

How does temperature affect the solubility of sugar in water?

Back

Generally, as the temperature of water increases, the solubility of sugar also increases, allowing more sugar to dissolve.

Front

What is the law of conservation of mass?

Back

The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction; it remains constant.

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.
