Grade 5 Science Quiz: Matter

What are the three states of matter?

• solid, liquid, and gas

• hot, cold, and warm

• solid, gas, and plasma

• liquid, air, and vapor

Explain the difference between a physical change and a chemical change.

• Physical change involves a change in the form or appearance of a substance, but not in its chemical composition. Chemical change involves a change in the chemical composition of a substance.

• Physical change involves a change in the chemical composition of a substance, while chemical change involves a change in the form or appearance of a substance.

• Physical change only occurs in solids, while chemical change only occurs in liquids and gases.

• Physical change and chemical change are the same thing.
