(Fill in the blank. Both blanks are the same word, you only need to type it once.)
________ is anything that takes up space. Everything you can see and touch is made of _______. It is the "stuff" in the universe. It is NOT like the following: love, peace, ideas.
(a)
There are three states of matter. They are _____, _______, ______. (Type each one separated by a comma but no other punctuation.)
(a)
You have learned that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Would you be able to draw models to demonstrate the particle nature of 1) solids, 2) liquids, and 3) gases on your own?
Yes, definitely
One or two, but not all three
Probably not. I need more help or practice.
You have learned that all matter is made up of tiny particles too small to be seen. If you could zoom in 10,000,000+ times to actually see the particles, what would the particles in the penny most likely look like?
None of these
You have learned that all matter is made up of tiny particles too small to be seen. If you could zoom in 10,000,000+ times to actually see the particles, what would the particles in the water most likely look like?
These diagrams best represent:
(Select ALL that apply)
marbles in different containers
the concept that all matter is made of tiny particles too small to be seen
a gas, a liquid, and a solid
open systems where solids, liquids, and gases can escape

Which statements explain why the balloon increased in size? (Select ALL that apply.)
The balloon was being inflated with more air
Balloons are solid and fill the shape of their container
Gases will always fill the shape of their container
When air (gas) was removed from the clear vacuum chamber, the gases (air) in the balloon expanded to fill the container.
What about the particle nature of matter explains why food coloring dropped in water will change the color of the water, EVEN WITHOUT being stirred?
Food coloring and water are liquids and particles of liquids always spread to take the space of their container.
Food coloring is permanent.
Liquid particles do not move or change shape.
Water is a liquid. It is always evaporating on a scale that can be observed over several days.
Use your understanding of the particle nature of matter. What is likely causing this balloon to inflate when baking soda is mixed with vinegar to produce a bubbly, foaming new substance?
The balloon has properties like malleability, pink, non-magnetic, a little reflective, and smooth.
The air in the bottle fills the balloon too.
A gas was produced when the substances were mixed. Gases spread to fill the space of their containers causing the balloon to fill with gas and inflate.
Solids and liquids mixed together do not produce new substances and therefore the inflating balloon cannot be explained.
Energy (heat) is added to an ice cube (a solid). What happens to the particles in the ice cube?
The particles do not change.
The particles form a tightly compacted solid.
The particles begin to move more freely and change into a gas.
The particles begin to move more freely and change into a liquid.
A pot of water on the stove boils and produces steam. Energy (heat) is removed from steam as it cools in the air. Little droplets of water are observed on the cabinets above the stove and on the counter. What has happened to the steam particles?
The freely moving gas particles came together as they cooled and formed a liquid with closer moving particles.
The freely moving gas particles evaporated completely into the air.
The steam particles spread completely to fill the space of the room
The steam particles converted from a solid to a gas in the pot
(Use the properties chart.) Three unknown white-ish powders are in shallow dishes. You design tests to determine which powder is flour. Based on the PROPERTIES of flour, which of the following tests would NOT help you? (Use the properties chart.)
Mix each of the three powders with water to see if they are soluble.
Smell the powders by wafting your hand toward your nose.
Mix vinegar with the three powders.
Drop iodine on each of the three powders.
Select PROPERTIES of matter from the list below:
state of matter (solid, liquid, gas)
solubility in water
density
shape
You have two silvery-gray cubes. You know 1 cubic unit of IRON is denser than 1 cubic unit of ALUMINUM. (The space or volume is the same, yet IRON is denser than ALUMINUM because the particles are packed closely together.) Which test would best help you determine which cube is IRON and which cube is ALUMINUM using their density properties?
Shine a light to see which one reflects more light.
Weigh the two cubes. The lighter one is aluminum and the heavier one is iron.
Melt them both into liquids.
Place both cubes and water and watch them both sink.
Select the similarities between the properties of salt and sugar. (Select ALL that apply.)
The crystal shape of salt and sugar is the exact same.
Sugar and salt are both soluble.
Both substances are translucent up close and white in color from a distance.
Salt and sugar are both solids.
Sugar can be changed into a liquid by adding energy (heat), such as heating it in a pan on the stove to make caramel.
You know that substances sometimes combine to create new substances and sometimes do not. What happened when water sat on this iron-containing metal drain for too long?
New substance was formed: Rust formed
No new substance was formed: Discoloration
New substance was formed: Dirt and grime
No new substance was formed: The metal rusted
20 grams of vinegar is mixed with 30 grams of water. What is the total weight of the solution (mixture)?
(a)
