NGSS.MS-PS3-4

properties of matter that can be observed, measured, or changed without changing the matter itself

• States of Matter

NGSS.MS-PS1-4

the amount of space that a substance or object takes up

• Density

• Fluids

• Volume

• Heterogenous Mixture

a state of matter where the particles are closely packed together (fixed shape and volume) and contain the least amount of kinetic energy

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma
