The way a thermometer works is an example of heating and cooling a ________.

• solid

• liquid

• gas

• plasma

When heated, the molecules of the liquid in the thermometer move __________, causing them to get a little farther apart. This results in movement up the thermometer.

• faster

• slower

• backward

• upward

When cooled, the molecules of the liquid in the thermometer move slower, causing them to get a little closer together. This results in movement ________ the thermometer.

• up

• down

• sideways

• outward

• gaseous state

Which state of matter does not have a definite volume?

• solid

• liquid

• gas

Which process describes a gas changing to a liquid?

• freezing

• melting

• evaporation

Using a thermometer to measure the temperatures of the water in the cups is _______ data.

• quantitative

• qualitative

• descriptive

Watching which ice cube melts first in the two different cups is _______ data.

• quantitative

• qualitative

• numerical

When we put a thermometer in cold water, the molecules of the liquid in the thermometer

• lose heat energy

• move slower and condense, causing the liquid level to lower in the tube

• collide with the molecules of the cold water, transferring kinetic energy (heat) from the thermometer to the cold water

• all are correct
