The measurement of the amount of force of gravity pulling down on an object.

Gravity can not push ! Changes due to location because the force of gravity

changes.

The amount of matter in an object. Mass doesn’t change no matter where you put the object.

The amount of space an object takes up; Doesn’t change no matter where you put the object.

the characteristic of an object to float.

The mass of an object divided by its volume. Denser objects will sink; less dense will float.

Scale

An instrument used to measure mass.

An instrument used to measure temperature.

The measure of the energy of motion of particles of matter

A state of matter in which the particles are the closest and touching, and vibrate; has a definite

volume and shape; have the least amount of energy.

a state of matter in which the particles are farther away than a solid, but not as far as a gas;

slide past one another & are slippery; has a definite volume, but takes the shape of the container; more

energy than solids, but less energy than gases.

a state of matter in which the particles are the farthest away and bounce off one another; no

definite volume & no definite shape; gases have the greatest amount of energy.

A word that means the same as characteristics and features; physical or chemical

properties

PHYSICAL CHANGE; When a substance is heated or

cooled.

Physical properties that change matter physically, but do not affect the type of matter

(states of matter). Exam.- cutting, shape, crumpling, texture, weight, density, volume, mass,

temperature, CHANGES OF STATES/PHASES OF MATTER, condensation, evaporation, melting,

freezing, slicing, cracking.

matter undergoes a change, that results in a substance with new & different

properties. Exam: BURNING, ASHES, GAS PRODUCED- BUBBLES FROM A REACTION,

DIGESTION, RUSTING, COOKING, BAKING, DECOMPOSING, ROTTING, turning a totally

different color, a very strong odor/smell

The process in which new substances are formed during a chemical change.

Mass/Matter or Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but

change forms. The amount of matter always stays the same through any physical & chemical change.-

Newton’s Law of Conservation of Mass/Matter & Energy.

An object that can bend

Another name for a mesh screen/ strainer; has holes so small particles & liquids flow through &

the larger particles stay behind in the sieve/strainer.

An object used to separate very small particles from a mixture.

A process that separates particles too small to be seen or by an ordinary filter or strainer.

Exam: a solution of salt & water.

An object/ substance expands, gets bigger, spreads out & takes up more space; because of

heat; EXCEPT WATER!

An object/substance’s particles move closer together & take up less

space; To squeeze something into a smaller space.

The left side of a chemical equation; the substances that are undergoing the reaction.

The right side of a chemical equations; the substances that

are produced at the end of the chemical reaction.
