If a golf ball and a ping-pong ball are about the same size, they have roughly the same:

• Mass

• Weight

• Volume

• Density

Which of these has more mass: an inflated balloon or a small bag of marbles half its size?

A characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the material is called a:

• Chemical property

• Physical property

• State of matter

• Mixture property

Conductivity describes how well:

• Light bounces off a material

• A material dissolves in liquid

• Energy (like heat or electricity) moves through a material

• A material is attracted to a magnet

Why are pots and pans often made of metal?

• Because metal is very reflective

• Because metal is a good conductor of heat

• Because metal is always magnetic

• Because metal dissolves easily

Magnetism is the ability of a material to:

• Conduct electricity

• Reflect light evenly

• Be attracted to a magnet

• Dissolve in water

Reflectivity is the way:

• Energy moves through an object

• Light bounces off an object

• An object dissolves

• An object is attracted to a magnet
