Front 9

What makes the particles in matter move faster?

Back 9

Heating matter make its particles move faster.

Example: When ice is heated, some particles begin to move fast enough to break away from
their neighbors. As regular arrangement of particles breakdown, the ice melts. Heated particles of liquid water move faster and faster. After a while they move fast enough to bounce away from each other and change to gas.

Back 26

.

Front 27

Why does liquid have the same shape as its container?

Back 27

The solid walls of the container don't change shape.
The particles of the liquid can't move past the walls, and the liquid particles stay close together. So, the liquid takes the shape of the container.

Front 28

Describe matter.

Back 28

Matter has mass and volume.
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
- The space that matter takes up is called volume.
- Density compares the amount of matter in an object to the amount of space it takes up.

Front 29

What are particles?

Back 29

- Particles are what mass is made of.
- Particles are so small they can only been seen by microscopes.
- Particles are always moving quickly.
- The arrangement of particles give matter properties.

Front 35

Does the amount of matter in a liquid change when you pour it into another container?

Back 35

No, if you pour a liquid from one container to another, the amount of matter in the liquid stays the same. The amount of space the liquid takes up also stays the same.
