What property of plastic makes it a good choice for the pot handle?
It is an insulator. It doesn't conduct heat.
color, shape, texture, odor, taste, malleability, conductivity, elasticity, magnetism, relative density, mass, opacity, volatility, diffusion, transparency and solubility are examples of what type of property?
physical property
Particles are always moving. True or False?
True, depending on the amount of energy they have some move faster than others.
This type of change results in a new substance and cannot be reversed.
chemical change
When something burns, which property is it: a physical or a chemical change?
chemical

It has air/gas inside of it.
Name the 4 states of matter.
liquid, solid, gas, plasma
The ability of matter to dissolve in something else
solubility
Physical or chemical change?
physical
Which is a change in matter that involves a change in a physical property but doesn't create a new substance?
physical change
The smallest possible units of matter
particles (atoms)
The characteristics that we use to describe matter, for example: color, texture, flammability, magnetism, reactivity, toxicity, etc.
properties
What happens to the particles of a liquid when we add heat/ energy?
The particles move faster and spread out more, it turns into a gas.
When heat is added to a solid, it becomes this state of matter.
liquid
Anything that has weight and takes up space
matter
Toxicity and reactivity are examples of chemical properties of matter. True or false?
True
Which property determines if something will float or sink?
density
Matter is made of _________ that are too small to be seen.
atoms (particles)
The amount of space that an object takes up
volume
Which property could help you identify between aluminium and iron?
Magnetism. Iron is magnetic, aluminium isn't.
Matter is not destroyed and it is not
created
For a liquid to become a solid, heat energy needs to be: added or removed?
Removed! The temperature needs to be colder.
Matter in this state has a definite shape, a definite volume, and can't be compressed.
solid
