What is a characteristic?

• A measure of the force of gravity on an object.

• A feature, quality, property, or trait of an object or organism.

• The amount of space an object or substance occupies.

• A state of matter that has shape and volume.

What is mass?

• The amount of matter a substance or object has.

• A change of a substance from one form to another without a change in its chemical properties.

• The gas state of water.

• A state of matter that has volume but NOT shape.

What is matter?

• A state of matter that has shape AND volume.

• Anything that takes up space and has mass.

What is a physical change?

• A change of a substance from one form to another without a change in its chemical properties.

• The production of a new substance that cannot be reversed.

• The amount of space an object or substance occupies.

• The gas state of water.

What is a chemical change?

• A state of matter that has volume but NOT shape.

• A change of a substance from one form to another without a change in its chemical properties.

• Chemical changes result in the production of a new substance and cannot be reversed.

• A physical property of a solid used to describe its surface.

What is texture?

• A state of matter that does not have volume or shape.

• A physical property of a solid used to describe its surface.

• The amount of matter a substance or object has.

• The form matter can take (e.g., solid, liquid, or gas).

What is volume?

• The amount of space an object or substance occupies.

• A measure of the force of gravity on an object.

• The gas state of water.

• A state of matter that has shape AND volume.

What is weight?

• The amount of matter a substance or object has.

• A measure of the force of gravity on an object.

• A state of matter that has volume but NOT shape.

• A change of a substance from one form to another without a change in its chemical properties.
