Volume

• anything that has mass and takes up space

• the amount of matter in an object

• the measure of the amount of gravity acting on an object's mass

• The amount of space taken up by matter

Relative density

• a special mixture in which the substances mix evenly and dissolve

• the classification of matter as a solid, liquid, or gas

• A comparison of an object's density to the density of water. Less dense=float

  More dense= sink

• anything that has mass and takes up space

Solution

• the ability or power to conduct (transfer) thermal or electrical energy

• a combination of two or more substances that do not join together to form a new substance. The substances maintain their physical properties

• A special mixture in which the substances mix evenly and dissolve

• the ability of an object to be attracted to a magnet or not

Melting

• State of matter changes from a gas to a liquid by COOLING

• The change in state from a solid to a liquid by HEATING

• state of matter changes from a liquid to a solid by COOLING

• The classification of matter as a SOLID, a LIQUID or a GAS

Solubility

• Ability for matter to CONDUCT (transfer) thermal energy or INSULATE (keep from transferring) thermal energy

• The ability or power to conduct(transfer) thermal or electrical energy

• Ability for matter to CONDUCT (transfer) electricity or INSULATE (keep from transferring) electricity

• the ability of a substance to dissolve or not into another substance

classify

• water in the form of a GAS

• to sort

• The change in state from a solid to a liquid by HEATING

• The classification of matter as a SOLID, a LIQUID or a GAS

• he classification of matter as a SOLID, a LIQUID or a GAS

• a characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured and can be changed without changing the matter itself

• a state of matter that has a FIXED SHAPE and FIXED VOLUME

Matter

• the amount of SPACE taken up by matter

• the measure of the amount of GRAVITY acting on an object's mass
