Which one is on the wheelchair? ____________________ Which one is the wheelchair on?_______________________ 10.Goal component A student determined that shaking a container of sand caused the temperature of the sand to rise. The student then performed a new experiment to see if shaking a container of pebbles would cause the temperature of the pebbles to rise. Does the amount of shaking depend on the rising temperature, or the temperature rise depend on the amount of shaking? Hint: what happens to the temperature of your hands when you rub them together (like shaking)? Identify the dependent (responding) variable in this experiment. _________________________________________________________________

_________26. Which instrument could be used to determine the temperature? __________ 24. Which instrument could be used to determine the volume of a regularly

shaped object (it has a definite shape)?

Process melting Freezing boiling

What happens during the process Needs heat to make atoms in solids move so they become a liquid Atoms in a liquid slow down, gives off heat, and become a solid. Needs heat to make liquid into a gas

33. During which process do particles of matter release energy? (1) Melting (3) freezing (2) Sublimation (4) boiling When atoms move faster in matter, does expansion or contraction result? ________________ 35.

Standard 4 PS 3.1c The motion of particles helps to explain the phases (states) of matter as well as changes from one phase to another. The phase in which matter exists depends on the attractive forces among its particles. Standard 4 PS 3.1c Standard 4 PS 3.1c Standard 4 PS 2.2k The uneven heating of Earth's surface is the cause of weather. Standard 4 PS 3.1c Standard 4 PS 3.1e A liquid has definite volume, but takes the shape of a container. Standard 4 PS 3.1h Density can be described as the amount of matter that is in a given amount of space. If two objects have equal volume, but one has more mass, the one with more mass is denser. Standard 4 PS 3.1f A solid has definite shape and volume. Particles resist a change in position. Standard 4 PS 3.1f Standard 4 PS 3.1i Buoyancy is determined by comparative densities.
