Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied. An object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The basic SI unit of mass is the kilogram.

Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, for example, the space that a substance or shape occupies or contains.

In its characteristics, a liquid is intermediate between a gas and a solid, the other two principle states. Like gases, liquids can flow and take on the shape of the container in which they are placed—characteristics not found in solids. Like solids, liquids have a fixed volume, whereas gases do not.

Atoms have negatively charged electrons that spin around them. Most of the time, the electrons spin in random directions. When the electrons all spin in the same direction, though, they create an invisible force known as magnetism.When something is magnetic, it can pull things with steel or iron in them to it. The two ends of a magnet are called the north and south poles. These are the parts where the magnets are strongest. Around these poles is an area known as a magnetic field. In the magnetic field, other objects can be drawn to the magnet.]]> 2020-08-26 23:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jmh6273/brzc8usrq7i3lg0a/wish/701440882 Density jmh6273 https://padlet.com/jmh6273/brzc8usrq7i3lg0a/wish/701440888 Something that is dense means it’s stores up water.DescriptionCondensation is the change of the physical state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase, and is the reverse of vaporization.

Tiny water drops hovering in the air are called fog. Fog is like a cloud, but it is near the ground, not high in the sky. Thick fog makes it difficult to see the surrounding landscape.


Fog forms from water vapor, which is water in the form of a gas. Water vapor in the air condenses, or turns back into liquid, when the air cools. Fog appears when this liquid gathers around bits of dust in the air. A gentle wind helps fog to form and to stay in the air. If the water vapor condenses on the ground instead, it is called dew.

An alloy is a substance made of two or more metals or of a metal and nonmetallic materials. To make an alloy, the ingredients are melted and mixed together. When the mixture cools, it hardens.


Alloys are generally more useful than pure metals. Pure metals may rust or wear away easily. They may also be too soft to hold a shape. But mixing other substances with a pure metal often results in a hard and strong substance.

Whether or not an object has buoyancy depends mostly on two factors: the amount of water an object displaces and the density of an object. A pebble is dense and displaces very little water, therefore it sinks.]]> 2020-08-26 23:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jmh6273/brzc8usrq7i3lg0a/wish/701440906
