Bryson pours oil into a glass of water. The oil floats on top of the water. What does this tell you about the density of oil compared to water?
Oil is denser than water.
Oil is less dense than water.
Oil and water have the same density.
Oil has no density.
Mia is observing an ice cube melting in a glass of water. Which of the following best describes the movement of molecules in the water compared to the ice cube?
Molecules in the water move slower than in the ice cube.
Molecules in the water move faster and slide past each other, while in the ice cube they vibrate in place.
Molecules in the water are fixed in place.
Molecules in the water do not move at all.
Liam is observing water in three different states: ice (solid), liquid water, and steam (gas). Which of the following statements best compares the kinetic energy of water molecules in these three states?
Atoms in solids have the most kinetic energy.
Atoms in liquids have the least kinetic energy.
Atoms in gases have the most kinetic energy.
Atoms in solids and gases have the same kinetic energy.
Match each object’s position in water to its density relative to water.
Less dense than water
more dense than water
same density as water
Click on the picture that has the lowest kinetic energy?
What state of matter is shown in the picture? Describe what you see that makes you think that?
Match the vocabulary word with the correct definition.
The state of matter that has a definite
shape and volume. Their shape and volume cannot be easily changed. (ex. ice)
States of Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space. It cannot be created nor destroyed.
Liquid
The different forms in which matter can be found
Solid
The state of
matter that has a definite volume but no fixed shape (ex. water)
Gas
The state of matter that has no definite shape and take the shape of their container. (ex. water vapor)
Matter
