5th Grade Science Review

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object. It occurs when two surfaces rub against each other.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the force that pulls us toward the Earth.

Front

What happens to the weight of an object when it is cut into pieces?

Back

The total weight remains the same; cutting an object does not change its total weight.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without the movement of the material itself.

Front

What is a chemical change?

Back

A chemical change occurs when a substance transforms into a different substance, such as frying an egg.

Front

What is a physical change?

Back

A physical change is a change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance without changing its chemical composition.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is the role of heat in changing the state of matter?

Back

Heat can cause matter to change states, such as from solid to liquid (melting) or from liquid to gas (evaporation).
