|
Matter
|
Anything that takes up space & has mass.
|
|
|
Properties
|
Things you can observe about matter by using the 5 senses.
|
|
|
Tools used to Observe Properties
|
1. Magnifying Glass
2. Ruler 3. Balance Scale 4. Measuring Cup |
|
|
Solids
|
Tightly packed together, firmly connected, and jiggle but keep the same shape.
|
|
|
Liquids
|
Loosely packed together, loosely connected, and take the shape of the container they are in.
|
|
|
Gases
|
Free flowing and fill whatever space is available
|
|
|
Atoms
|
The smallest part of an element.
|
|
|
Elements
|
Made of just one type of atom.
|
|
|
The Periodic Table
|
A table that organizes all of the elements by their properties.
|
|
|
Weight
|
How much something weighs and can change in different places. (You weigh more on Earth than on the Moon.)
|
|
|
Mass
|
How much there is of something and stays the same no matter where it is. (There is still the same amount of you on Earth or the Moon.)
|
|
|
Mass of an Object
|
Found by putting the object on one side of a balance scale and seeing how many gram cubes it takes on the other side of the balance scale to make both sides even, or balanced.
|
|
|
Density
|
How tightly packed the atoms are in something. (If an object is more dense than water, it will sink. If it's less dense it will float.)
|
|
|
Buoyancy
|
How much an object can float. (If it floats it has a lot of buoyancy. If it sinks it has little buoyancy.)
|
|
|
Volume of a Box
|
Found by finding out how many cubes can fin inside of it.
|
|
|
Volume of Other Objects
|
Found by measuring water in a graduated a cylinder. Then drop in the object and measure the level of the water again. Subtract the first measurement from the second measurement and that is the volume.
|
|
|
The Metric System
|
Measures lengths, heights, and distances.
|
|
|
Millimeters
|
Measures tiny objects like dice.
|
|
|
Centimeters
|
Measures small objects like pencils.
|
|
|
Meters
|
Measures bigger objects or distances like the length of a bus or how far it is from the gym to our classroom.
|
|
|
Kilometers
|
Measures longer distances like Omaha to Lincoln.
|
|
|
Pressure
|
Force per unit area that is applied to a substance. (ex. air being pumped into a ball. The more it inflates = the more pressure)
|
|
|
Property
|
Something about mater that you can observe with one or more of your senses.
|
|
|
An object's _____ is the amount of matter it has.
|
Density
|
|
|

A measuring cup is used to fine a liquid's _____
|
Volume
|
|
|
A balloon gets larger when air is blown into it because of air _____
|
Pressure
|
|
|
An object that floats in water has _____ in water.
|
Buoyancy
|
|
|
Anything that takes up space and has weight (mass) is _____.
|
Matter
|
|
|
Elements are arranged in a(n) _____based on their properties.
|
Periodic Table
|
|
|
An object's _____ is a measure of the amount of matter the object has in a certain amount of space.
|
Mass
|
|
|
Matter that has only one kind of atom is a(n)
|
