What matters glossary quiz

The state of matter where particles are very close together. They vibrate in place and has a fixed shape.

• Solid

• liquid

• gas

When a gas turns to a liquid. This involves decreasing energy and movement of the particles.

• Evaporation

• Sublimation

• Condensation

• Deposition

This is the ONE variable that gets changed in an experiment.

• Dependent variable

• Independent variable

• Conclusion

• Fixed variable

The record of the measurements that have been made in an experiment.

• Measurements

• Aim

When a solid turns to a liquid. This involves an increase in energy for the particles.

• Sublimation

• Melting

• Freezing

• Boiling

Smallest particle of matter. They contain protons, neutrons and electrons.

• Atom

• Particles

The separation of a solid and a liquid by pouring off the liquid and leaving the solid behind.

• Physical change

• Dissolving

• Decanting

• Crystallisation

When a solid spreads out into a liquid forming a solution.

• Separation

• Melting

• Dissolving

Changes in physical properties -eg- change of shape, size or state (solid, liquid or gas). It does not change the chemical properties of the substance.
