Term
matter
Definition
anything that has mass and takes up space
Term
solid
Definition
a state of matter that keeps a definite shape
Term
liquid
Definition
a state of matter that flows and fills its container to a level
Term
gas
Definition
a state of matter that fills all parts of a container
Term
weight
Definition
measure of the pull of gravity on a n object measured in pounds
Term
mass
Definition
amount of matter in an object, measured in grams
Term
balance
Definition
tool used for measuring mass
Term
volume
Definition
amount of space that an object takes up, measured in liters
Term
density
Definition
mass divided by volume
Term
buoyancy
Definition
the ability for an object to float
Term
solid
Definition
molecules that are in a fixed position and do not move; they have a fixed shape and size.
Term
solid
Definition
ice is a _______.
Term
yes
Definition
Is a soccer ball matter?
Term
yes
Definition
Is the air inside the soccer ball matter?
Term
liquid
Definition
molecules move about which cause this property of matter to flow; it does not have a fixed shape but does have a fixed volume
Term
gas
Definition
molecules that move around freely and have no fixed shape or volume
Term
true
Definition
true/false you measure an object's weight by adding up all its parts
Term
equal
Definition
true/false The sum of the weights of the parts will weigh (more than or equal) the entire object.
Term
moon
Definition
where is the best place to weigh yourself?
Term
scale
Definition
Weight is measured with a _______.
Term
false
Definition
true/false weight and mass are the same.
Term
mass
Definition
Weight changes as the force of gravity changes ________ does not change.
Term
grams
Definition
____ is the unit to measure mass.
Term
pounds
Definition
____ is the unit to measure weight
Term
liters
Definition
____ is the unit to measure volume
Term
length X width X height
Definition
The equation to measure the volume of an object.
Term
displacement
Definition
An irregular object can use _____ to measure volume in mL.
Term
displacement
Definition
The difference in the rise of water without the object and then how much the object made the water rose is the ____.
Term
density
Definition
the amount of matter in a specific volume
Term
mass divided by volume
D= m/v
Definition
the equation for measuring density
Term
buoyancy
Definition
the density of an object compared to the density of the material around it; liquids have different densities and will seperate ( oil and water)
Term
density
Definition
this is a physical property; it is not changed even if its size changes.
Term
true
Definition
true/false an object that is less dense floats in water.
Term
true
Definition
true/false an object that is more dense sinks in water.
