Which is true about all matter? Select all that apply.

• All matter has weight

• All matter takes up space

• All matter can be seen

• All matter has fixed volume

How are the particles in each state of matter different?

• The particles are different sizes

• The particles are different materials

• The particles are different shapes

• The particles are arranged differently

What is a solid?

• The particles are close together and locked in position, so they cannot move around each other and can only vibrate.

• Shape and volume are not fixed.

• Has a fixed volume and shape.

• Particles are pretty far apart and able to move around easily.

What is a liquid?

• Particles are pretty far apart and able to move around easily.

• Shape and volume are not fixed.

• The particles are close together but they are able to move about.

• Has a fixed volume but does not have a fixed shape.

What is a gas?

• The particles are spread apart and move freely in all directions.

• Does not have a fixed volume or shape. The amount of space that it takes up can change.

• Shape and volume of particles are fixed.

• Particles are very tightly packed, can only vibrate.

Ms. Reynold's class is trying to model with their bodies how water particles move in a bowl of liquid water. How should the students move to BEST model this motion?

• Stay close together and move about slowly

• Walk past each other slowly while some students stay in place

• Run around and remain as far apart from each other as possible

• Sit down on the ground, holding hand tightly, and try not to move

How can matter change from state to state? Select all that apply.

• Each time matter changes state, it is simply the movement of molecules in them speeding up or slowing down. 

• When heat is added to a solid, it turns into a liquid.  When heat is added to a liquid, it evaporates and becomes a gas.

• When heat is removed from a gas it condenses and turns back into a liquid.  When a liquid freezes, it turns into a solid.

• Matter can't change from state to state.
