  1. matter Mr. Dawson’s Science Unit Created by: Mrs. Coliadis Oct. 2010

  2. Chemical properties The ability of matter to combine with other matter and form a NEW substance with DIFFERENT properties than the original substance

  3. Physical properties A trait of matter that we can observe without causing any change to the object: color, hardness, size, shape and taste are examples

  4. property Any characteristics of an object that can be described by using our senses or measured with tools

  5. Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space

  6. volume The amount of space that matter takes up

  7. gram A unit of measure used in the metric system; a unit of mass The symbol for gram is g.

  8. weight The pull of the force of gravity on an object

  9. Five senses The natural “tools’ of seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling that we use to make observations

  10. wafting A safe way to smell unknown substances by waving air molecules toward your nose with your hand

  11. Physical change When matter changes in shape, size, or phase but remains the same substance

  12. Chemical change When matter changes and the change causes the substance to become a new or different substance

  13. solid Phase of matter in which the molecules are most closely attracted to each other. An ice cube is the solid phase of water.

  14. liquid The phase of matter that has no definite shape, but has definite volume. Water is a liquid—ice that has melted is a liquid.

  15. gas The phase of matter that has no definite shape or volume and the molecules have the most motion.

  16. 100º Celsius / 212º Fahrenheit The melting point of water (from liquid to gas)

  17. 0º Celsius / 32º Fahrenheit The freezing point of water (from liquid to a solid)

  18. Boiling point The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas

  19. Condensation point The temperature at which a gas turns back into a liquid

  20. polymer Matter formed by molecules in long chains (rubber and silly putty are examples)

  21. texture The property used to describe how an object feels when touched

  22. magnetism The property of an object that makes it attract iron

  23. luster The property used to describe how an object shines in the light

  24. atoms The tiny particles that make up matter
