Topic 4 Properties of Matter

Look at the bubbles. How do bubbles support the atomic theory?

• The bubbles are lighter than air.

• There is matter that cannot be seen inside the bubbles.

• The bubbles will burst before long.

• The bubbles cannot be broken into smaller pieces.

Look at the picture of a winding stream. How does the winding stream illustrate a characteristic of liquids?

• The water changes colors as the speed of the water changes.

• The stream will freeze in the winter and the water will be ice.

• The rock blocked the path of the water and made the water turn.

• THe shape of the stream does not change because there is nothing to stop it.

Two of the same glasses contain a different material. Which observation comparing the volume of the orange juice with the volume of the rock is supported by the evidence in the picture?

• The orange juice and the rock appear to have nearly the same volume.

• The rock has less volume because it does not change shape to fit the glass.

• The rock has greater volume because it is heavier.

• The orange juice has less volume because it changes shape to fit the glass.

Two jars are shown. Jar A is filled with air. Jar B is filled with water and air. Compare the volume of the air in the A with the volume of the water in jar B. Which statement is supported by the evidence shown?

• If the lids are removed, the volume of air in Jar A will change, but the volume of water in Jar B will not change.

• If lids are removed, the volume of the air in Jar A will not change, but the volume of water in Jar B will change.

• The volume of the air in Jar A is less than the volume of water in Jar B.

• The volume of the air in Jar A is greater than the volume of water in Jar B.

When a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the liquid changes state to a gas. In evaporation, a liquid changes state to a gas. Wet clothes dry by evaporation. Look at the picture. How does evaporation occur when the temperature is below the boiling point of the liquid?

• The wind blows particles from the surface of the liquid.

• Particles on the surface of the liquid gain enough speed to change state.

• The water droplets in the clothes reach their boiling point and change state.

• Liquid changes state to a solid and is absorbed into clothing.
