12. MATTER is anything that has ______________ and ____________.
13. A FORCE is a _______________ or a ______________.
14. ENERGY is the ability of a _______________ to move ______________.
15. Give an example of a FORCE used when making the Blue Cone of Power:

Learning Target: I can explain the kinetic theory of matter and how matter
changes phases through the interaction of Energy, Matter and Force.
16. When you take the temperature of a substance you are measuring __________ .
a. the potential energy of the molecules in the substance
b. the kinetic energy of the molecules in the substance
c. the force between the molecules in the substance
d. how well the substance conducts heat energy

17. The best way to describe heat and temperature is __________.
a. changes in temperature cause changes in heat energy
b. temperature is a measurement of energy, while heat is the flow of energy
c. temperature and heat are forms of kinetic and potential energy
d. temperature is a form of heat energy
18. Which of the following statements best summarizes the Kinetic Theory of Matter?
a. As a substance is heated the kinetic and potential energy of the particles increases.
b. The particles that make up solids, liquids and gasses are always in motion.
c. As the amount of thermal energy in a substance changes so does the temperature.
d. The total amount of kinetic energy in matter stays the same.
19. Make a diagram inside the container that shows the arrangement of particles in LIQUID,
EXPLAIN how your diagram shows the properties of a liquid.
20. Explain what is happening when a liquid is boiling.
