Mrs. Swecker Grade 6 Matter

Front 1

Define Physical Property

Back 1

Can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the matter.

Front 2

What is Density?

Back 2

How solid/ heavier the matter is related to something else.
-----------------------------------
Examples:
• A golf ball and a ping-pong ball have similar volumes, but the golf ball has more mass. So, the golf ball is denser than the ping-pong ball.

Front 3

The formula for density...

Back 3

Front 4

What is mass?

Back 4

The amount of "matter", "weight" an object has on earth and in the cosmos.

Front 5

Define solubility

Back 5

The ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance.

-----------------------------------
Examples:
Flavored drink mix dissolves in water.

Front 6

Name the 5 States of Matter

Back 6

1) BE Condensate
2) solid
3) liquid
4) gas
5) plasma

Front 7

What is Plasma?

Back 7

The cells are extremely hot and spread out to create extreme light.

Front 8

What is Bose-Einstein Condensate?

Back 8

The cells are extremely cold and clump together.

Front 9

What is a chemical property?

Back 9

• It describes matter based on its ability to change into new matter with different properties.

-----------------------------------
Examples:
• wood can be burned to create a new matter (ash and smoke)

Front 10

Define flammability.

Back 10

• ability to burn

Front 11

What does nonflammable mean?

Back 11

NOT having the ability to burn

Front 12

Why do you use a Triple Beam Balance?

Back 12

Tool for measuring mass.

Front 13

Define volume

Back 13

The amount of space something takes up.

Front 14

What is a graduated cylinder?

Back 14

Tool for measuring volume

Front 15

What are grams?

Back 15

Unit of measurement for mass (g).

Front 16

Independent variable

Back 16

The variable controlled by the scientist.

Data located on the

x axis

Front 17

Define Dependent variable.

Back 17

The variable that is a result from the experiment.

Data located on the y axis.

Front 18

What is the relationship between mass and volume?

Back 18

as mass increases the volume increases

Front 19

What is so special about Density of Gold 19.32 g/cm3?

Back 19

No matter what the size, gold will always have a density of 19.32g/cm3

Front 20

What is important to remember when heating liquids?

Back 20

The student should point the sample away from everyone.

Front 21

What are goggles?

Back 21

Safety equipment worn when heating/ mixing, or working with chemicals and glassware.

Front 22

How should you mass Irregular shaped objects?

Back 22

Use water displacement method.

Front 23

What is the "Water Displacement Method"?

Back 23

The volume, (amount of water that rises), when an object is put into water.

Front 24

What should you do if glassware broke?

Back 24

Tell the teacher immediately.

Front 25

What is chemistry?

Back 25

The study of matter and its properties.

Front 26

What do geologists do?

Back 26

Study the various landforms on Earth.

Front 27

What is matter?

Back 27

Anything made up of mass and volume.

Front 28

Define a solution in chemistry.

Back 28

A mixture where the particles are evenly placed.

Front 29

What are elements?

Back 29

A pure item.

Front 30

define solids?

Back 30

Matter that can hold its own shape.
