Physical Properties of Matter Flashcards

Front

Celsius

Back

A scale used to measure temperature, with water freezing at 0°C and boiling at 100°C.

Front

Condensation

Back

The change from gas to liquid. In the water cycle, when water vapor (a gas) in the air cools down and turns into liquid water.

Front

Condition

Back

A specific situation or state that affects how something works or behaves.

Front

Cycle

Back

Series of events that repeat in a pattern.

Front

Cycling of Matter

Back

Matter (such as water, carbon, and oxygen) that make up living and nonliving things are constantly moving and changing, but matter is not disappearing or being created.

Front

Density

Back

How much mass is in a specific volume.

Front

Evaporation

Back

The slow change from liquid to gas. In the water cycle, when liquid water, like in a puddle or a lake, turns into a gas (water vapor) and rises into the air, driven by heat, like the sun.

Front

Evidence

Back

Proof that something is true using information, that helps us understand and explain things in the natural world - examples are observations or measurements.

Front

Factor

Back

Something that influences or affects something else, such as a variable in an experiment or something that contributes to a natural event.

Front

Fahrenheit

Back

A scale used to measure temperature where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F.
