Answer Key

#	Answer
1	Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
2	Solid, liquid, and gas.
3	Solid.
4	Liquid.
5	Volume.
6	Mass.
7	Yes. Air has mass and takes up space.
8	A solid has a definite shape and definite volume.
9	A liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape.
10	A gas has no definite shape or volume and spreads out to fill its container.
11	It changes from a liquid to a solid.
12	Melting is the change from a solid to a liquid.
13	Evaporation is the change from a liquid to a gas.
14	Condensation is the change from a gas to a liquid.
15	Some of the liquid water evaporates into water vapor.
16	The ice will melt from a solid to a liquid.
17	Rock: solid; juice: liquid; steam: gas.
18	A brick would likely have more mass because it contains more matter.
19	No. Objects can have the same volume but different masses because they can be made of different materials.
20	It means it can be pushed into a smaller space.
21	Gas particles are spread farther apart, so they can be pushed closer together.
22	Yes, because it has mass and takes up space inside the balloon.
23	In a solid, particles are close together and stay in place. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely.
24	The water changes from a liquid to a gas through evaporation or boiling.
25	Ice cube, cup of water, water vapor.
