4th Grade--Matter Assessment Study Sheet

Matter Assessment

Study Sheet

List the four states of matter

            Solid

            Liquid

            Gas

            Plasma

What is the most common in the universe?   Plasma

Why?  It is found in stars and lightning

How can water be a solid, liquid, and gas?

Water as a liquid is water

Water as a solid is ice

Water as a gas is water vapor

All three of the physical changes are caused due to a change in temperature.

A chemical change

            Bubbles of fizzing

            Heat is absorbed or given off

            Color change

            New substance is produced

A physical change is a change in state from a solid, liquid or gas

Matter is made of atoms.   Conservation of matter states that matter is not created or destroyed.  It only changes into different forms or states of matter.  These can either be physical or chemical.
