to become different | Change |
groups of similar things based on characteristics or properties | Classifications |
repeated sequence; arranged according to a rule or natural phenomenon; a trend in data; used to predict what comes next | Patterns |
equipment, such as goggles and gloves, used for protection in an investigation | Personal protective equipment (PPE) |
characteristics of objects, organisms, or events | Properties |
use of evidence to construct testable explanations and predictions of natural phenomena, as well as the knowledge generated through this process | Science |
a group of parts that work together | System |
a substance or object that allows energy to flow through it easily | Conductor |
the process by which substances break down into small pieces and spread evenly throughout a liquid (water) | Dissolving |
energy that is absorbed or delivered by an electric circuit | Electrical energy |
a state of matter in which the substance expands to take both the shape and the volume of its container | Gas |
a substance or object that does not allow energy to flow through it easily | Insulator |

properties of matter that can be observed, measured, or changed without changing the matter itself | Physical properties |
floating or sinking when compared to water | Relative density |
definite shape and size | Solid |
the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance, such as sugar dissolving in water | Solubility |
a type of mixture in which the particles of one or more substances are dissolved (uniformly dispersed throughout) in another substance | Solution |
the forms matter can take, such as solid, liquid, and gas; sometimes called phases of matter | States of matter |
energy related to the temperature of an object or a substance | Thermal energy |
