1) What is matter?
2) Water drops stay together on wax paper or in a popped water balloon and don’t break apart easily. This is mainly
because:
3) If you put food coloring in room temperature water, the coloring spreads throughout the water. The water causes
the color to spread mainly because:
4) Food coloring spreads out faster in hot water than in cold water. This is mainly because:
5) When a thermometer is heated, the red liquid inside the thermometer moves up.
This is mainly because:
6) When a thermometer is cooled, the red liquid inside the thermometer moves down. This is mainly because:

8) When you heat a sample of gas, what happens to the particles that make up the gas?
9) To describe a liquid, you could say:
10) To describe a solid, you could say:

14) When a liquid becomes colder the viscosity:
15) What is heat?
16)
17) Compared to the particles in a hardened lava sample, the particles in a liquid lava sample
18) Make a sketch of a graph that correctly shows the effect of heat energy on the motion of molecules of
matter?
19) Label the pictures below as either a gas, solid or liquid
20) Why did the balloon inflate when it was placed in hot water?
21) Why does the balloon deflate when it was placed in cold water?
