Answer Key

#	Answer
1	Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
2	Yes, air is matter because it has mass and takes up space.
3	No, light is not matter because it does not have mass or take up space.
4	Solid, liquid, and gas.
5	A solid has a fixed shape.
6	A liquid takes the shape of its container but has a fixed volume.
7	A gas has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.
8	A rock is a solid.
9	Water is a liquid at room temperature.
10	Water vapor is a gas.
11	It changes into a liquid.
12	It changes into a solid.
13	It changes into a gas.
14	It changes into a liquid.
15	Sublimation.
16	Deposition.
17	A gas has more energy.
18	A solid has particles packed tightly together.
19	A gas has particles that move freely and spread out.
20	Volume is the amount of space something takes up.
21	Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
22	A balance.
23	A graduated cylinder.
24	Yes, a solid keeps its own shape.
25	Because gas particles move freely in all directions and spread out.
26	Its particles move faster and it may expand.
