4.

True or False. Buoyant force is the upward push by a liquid on an object

(a)  

5.

Nonbiodegradable materials that do not decay or would take hundres years to decay

(a)  

6.

Biodegradable materials rot and decay in a short period of time.

(a)  

7.

True or false

Matter

✨it is everything around you
✨it is anything that takes up space and has mass.
✨It may be solid, liquid or gas

What is this?

(a)  

8.


It is the amount of matter in an object.
  

a)

MATTER

b)

MASS

c)

WEIGHT

9.

 True or False. The mass of an object stays the same asd also the mass of the object determines its weight.

(a)  

10.


It is how heavy an object is in relation to the to the force of gravity.

a)

Mass

b)

Weight

c)

Matter

11.

True or False.

Weight of an object may change depending in the object's location.
* example :
-your weight on Earth is different from your weight on the moon.
- you would weigh less on moon because the moon has weaker gravitational pull than Earth.

(a)  

12.


It is the amount amount of space an object occupies. It is measured in terms of cubic units such as :
   ✨cubic centimeters
    ✨cubic inches

a)

VOLUME (V)

b)

WEIGHT

c)

MASS

13.

True or False. When an object occupies less space, it has less volume

(a)  

14.

True or false

V = l x w x h
is the formula that you can use to get the volume of regularly shaped objects.

(a)  

15.

It is a state of matter that has definite size, shape, mass and volume

a)

Gas

b)

Solid

c)

Liquid

16.

True or False. The molecules that make up a solid can move freely past each other.  They vibrate farther apart.

(a)  

17.

State of matter that has indefinite shape but has definite mass and volume.

(a)  

18.

True or False.

The molecules that make up a liquid can move freely past each other. They vibrate farther apart than the particles of solid do.

(a)  

19.

a)

Solid

b)

Gas

c)

Liquid

20.

True or False.

ceramic, metals and glass float in water.

(a)  

21.

True or False

wood and plastics are less dense than water so they float on water.

(a)
