Anything that takes up space and has mass

A flexible tool used to measure length

A metric unit used to measure length

A change of a substance from one form to another without a change in its chemical properties;

a change in matter in which a new substance is NOT formed

A device with mesh or holes used to separate small particles from large particles;

it can also be used to separate solids from liquids

When light changes direction or bends when it moves from one material to another

An electric circuit through which a current can flow in an uninterrupted path

A material that allows electricity to pass through it easily

A type of energy that comes from the movement or flow of electrons between atoms

A force that slows moving objects and it causes things to get hot
