What happens to the liquid level in the bottle wrapped in a cold wrap?
It changes color due to temperature change
It goes down the tube towards the bottle
It spills out of the tube
It moves up the tube from the bottle
What happens to the liquid in the hot wrapped bottle?
It goes up the tube away from the bottle
It goes down the tube towards the bottle
It changes color due to temperature change
It spills out of the bottle
Why does water expand when it is heated?
The particles get bigger taking up more space
The particles get smaller taking up less space
The particles move faster and use more space as they move
Mr. Ziemer said they do, so they take up more space
A student can't remove a metal nut from a bolt. How could the student loosen the nut from the bolt?
Twist them apart really hard
Let them soak in water
Hit them with a hammer really hard
Use ice to cool the bolt and use flame to heat the nut
What happends to the particles in a solid when they are heated?
The particles vibrate faster making them get a bit further apart
The particles slow down and stop moving
The particles spin faster and faster in a circle
The particles move about freely in all directions
A student drank most of the water from their plastic water bottle and put it in the refridgerator. They come back and the bottle looks like it got squished. What happened to the bottle?
Their brother stepped on it squishing it
The cold caused the air and water particles inside the bottle to contract
The particles inside got smaller as they got colder
Some of the air particles in the empty part of the bottle escaped
A jeweler heats a gold strip and bends it for an ear ring. The jeweler then cools the ear ring. When the strip of gold is heated, the gold particles ____________. Select the answers that accurately complete the sentece.
move faster
get closer together
increase in number
grow larger
move farther apart
A metal strip is heated to be shaped. What happens to the particles in the metal strip as it cools? The kinetic energy of the particles ___________________. (choose the best answer)
increases and the particles move farther apart
decreases and the particles move more slowly
does not change
decreases and the particles stop moving
What can cause a solid, liquid, or gas to contract?
a decrease in kinetic energy
adding pressure
cooling the substance
adding heat to the substance
How can you decrease the volume of a gas?
contraction
compression
heating
decrease pressure
How can you cause a change in volume of a solid or gas without removing any particles?
cut it with a lightsaber
cast a spell on it
decrease its kinetic energy by cooling it
squeeze it really hard
A solid has _________________.
No definite volume but definite shape.
No definite volume or shape
Definite volume and shape

How do particles in a liquid move?
They move over, around, and bounce into each other but are held together by a weak bond
They move indepently all around and bounce into each other
They are held in a rigid shape due to a strong bond and vibrate against each other
They move however they want to

Can liquids or solids have their volume changed by compression?
No, there is no extra space between particles to compress
Yes, particles can always get smaller
No, particles are too flexible and would bounce out of their container before they are compressed
Yes, particles are squishy
Can a solid or liquid substance have their volumes expand without adding particles?
No, they have a definite volume
Yes, you can always stretch things out
Maybe, the conditions just need to be right
Yes, the particles will just get farther apart
Can a gas substance have its volume expand?
Yes, the space between particles just grows
Yes, gas particles are stretchy
No, you can change a gas
Maybe, if you try hard enough
What can cause a substance to undergo expansion?
Increase in the size of the particles
Decrease in kinetic energy of the particles
Increase the kinetic energy of the particles
Increase in the amount of the particles

In which state of matter do the particles spread apart and fill all the space available to them?
crystal
liquid
gas
solid
