Properties of Matter

Edwin, Christopher, and Dylan are in a science class. They are given different objects and asked to measure a property that indicates how much matter is in each object. Can you help them identify the correct term for this property?

• mass

• size

• volume

• weight

Imagine Jocelyn, Carmen, and Biyoncy are having a friendly competition. They each have a block of iron, all of the same volume. Whose block of iron weighs the most?

• Jocelyn's Block

• Carmen's Block

• Biyoncy's Block

• All Weigh the Same

To understand the properties of matter. Identify an example of a liquid becoming a gas.

• water evaporating from the ocean

• precipitation from clouds going into the ocean

• snow melting into a river

• water vapor from the atmosphere condensing into clouds

Joseph, Jocelyn and and Juliet are working on a science project! They found a piece of iron. How would they most likely use this object in their investigation?

• to separate sugar from the flour they found in the kitchen

• to identify magnetic materials from the old car parts

• to measure the length of the large tree branches

• to identify if the wires are electrically charged

Antony conducts an experiment using the same size piece of paper for each trial. He decided to examine the paper in various forms: A Flat piece of paper, a paper Cut with a scissor, another crumpled into a ball, other Folded into an airplane, and the last one Torn into small pieces.

What can Antony conclude?

• The color of the paper changes with each try

• The mass of the paper remained the same

• The smell of the paper had changed

• The sizes of the paper affected the mass

What will happen if a piece of iron is placed on top of another piece of iron with opposite magnetic fields?

• nothing will happen to each other

• will repel to the other

•  will flip over

• will be attracted to each other

Jayden, Bryan S, and Yendri are working on a project for their science class about the Properties of Matter. They decided to conduct an experiment where they took a bottle of water at room temperature and placed it in a freezer. Can you predict how the state of matter of the water will transform?

• from a gas to a solid

• from a liquid to a gas

• from a liquid to a solid

• from a solid to a liquid
