Games to help students study key science vocabulary.

AB
The 3 states of matterLiquid, Solid, and Gas
LiquidWater
GasOxygen
SolidIce
TemperatureHow fast particles are moving
EvaporationVaporization that occurs at the surface of a liquid below its boiling point.
MeltingSolid to a Liquid
FreezingLiquid to a Solid
MatterAnything that has volume and mass.
VolumeThe amount of space that something occupies.
MeniscusThe curve at a liquid's surface by which you measure the volume of the liquid
MassThe amount of matter that something is made of; its value does not change in space (universe)
GravityA force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses
WeightA measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object, usually by Earth
NewtonThe SI unit of force
InertiaThe tendency of all objects to resist any change in motiion.
Physical propertyProperty that can be observed without changing the identity of the matter
Chemical propertyDescribes a substance based on its ability to change into a new substance with different properties.
Physical changeThe identity of the matter is not changed.
Chemical changeOne or more substances are changed into entirely new substances with different properties; cannot be reversed using physical means.
SolidMatter has a definite shape and volume
LiquidMatter takes the shape of its container but has a definite volume.
GasMatter changes in both shape and volume
PressureThe amount of force exerted on a given area; force/area.
Boyle's lawFor a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas increases as its pressure decreases.
Charle's lawFor a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of a gas increases as its temperature increases.
PlasmaMatter that does not have a definite shape or volume and whose particles have broken apart.
Change of StateThe conversion of a substance from one physical form to another
EndothermicA change in which energy is released or removed.
ExothermicA change in which energy is released or removed.
VaporizationThe change of state from a liquid to a gas; includes boiling and evaporation.
BoilingVaporization that occurs throughout a liquid.
CondensationChange of state from a gas to a liquid.
SublimationChange of state from a solid directly to a gas
