Matter - Lesson 1

What is the amount of matter in an object called?

• buoyancy

• mass

• volume

• density

What is a measure of how closely packed an object's particles are?

• density

• mass

• buoyancy

• matter

What is how strongly the force of gravity pulls on an object called?

• mass

• matter

• weight

• buoyancy

What are some properties of matter that can be identified without observing or measuring?

• color

• shape

• texture

• all of the above

What is the resistance to sinking and it depends on an object's density? (depends on if an object will sink or float)

• matter

• buoyancy

• weight

• mass

Density shows the relationship between which two things?

• volume and buoyancy

• mass and matter

• mass and volume

• volume and buoyancy

Which type of matter has particles that are tightly packed together in a regular pattern?

• solids

• liquids

• gas

• none of the above

Which statement is true?

• Matter can only be a solid or a gas.

• Matter can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but does NOT include living things.

• Matter can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and does include living things.

• Matter can only be a solid or a liquid.

Which of the states of matter would the particles be much more spread out and move about more easily?

• gas

• solid

• mass

• volume

Which statement is true?

• An object's mass stays the same, but weight can change.

• Weight will always be the same, but mass can change.

• Weight will never change.

• An object's mass will not stay the same.
