Anything that has mass and takes up space is called-?
Matter
A measure of the amount of matter in an object is called-?
Mass
The amount of space an object takes up is called-?
Volume
A characteristic of matter that can be observed and or measured is known as its _____ Property.
Physical Property
This describes how energy, such as electricity or heat, can move through material.
Conductivity
This is the way light reflects, or bounces off, an object.
Reflectivity
This is the ability of matter to dissolve in a liquid.
Solubility
This is a characteristic that can only be observed when there is a change in the type of matter.
Chemical Property
This is a physical combination of two or more substances.
Mixture
This type of mixture is not uniformly mixed together, and you can see all of its parts.
Heterogeneous Mixture
This type of mixture is uniformly mixed together, meaning you cannot see all of its parts.
Homogeneous Mixture
This is a heterogeneous mixture in which all parts are so small that they do not settle out, like fog.
Colloid
This is a type of homogeneous mixture that could be represented by tap water or sugar water.
Solution
What are the two types of changes in matter?
Chemical and Physical Changes
This type of change in matter begins and ends with the same type of matter (think folding an origami bear).
Physical Changes
This type of change in matter is a change that produces a new type of matter with different properties from the original matter (think burning a match).
Chemical Change
