| Matter | Any substance that has mass and takes up space by having volume. |
| Solid | A substance or object that is solid rather than liquid or fluid; particles are packed closely together and are not free to move about within the substance. |
| Liquid | A substance that is liquid rather than solid; particles move freely within the substance and it takes the shape of its container. |
| Gas | A state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume; particles move rapidly in all directions, frequently colliding with each other. |
| Melting point | The temperature at which a given solid will melt. |
| Freezing point | The temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid when cooled. |
| Condensation | Water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it; the conversion of a vapour or gas to a liquid. |
| Dissolve | (of a solid) to become incorporated into a liquid so as to form a solution (e.g. salt dissolves in water). |
| Chemical reaction | A process that involves rearrangement of the molecular structure of a substance |
| Solution | Consists of a solute and a solvent. The solute is the substance that is dissolved in the solvent (e.g. when combining salt and water: solute = salt and solvent = water). |
| Filter | A filter permits a fluid to pass through but retains the solid particles. |
| Boiling point | The temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to vapour. |
| Soluble | (of a substance) able to be dissolved, especially in water. |
| Insoluble | (of a substance) incapable of being dissolved. |
| Reversible | A reversible change is a change that can be undone or reversed (e.g. melted ice can be re-frozen). |
| Irreversible | A change is irreversible if it cannot be changed back again; a new material is formed (e.g. you can't un-bake a cake). |
| Sieve (noun) | An instrument with a meshed or perforated bottom, used for separating coarse from fine parts of loose matter, for straining liquids, etc. |
| Temperature | A physical quantity that expresses hot and cold. |

| Mixture | A material made up of two or more different substances which are physically combined (NOT a chemical change or totally new substance). |
| Plasma | A state of matter that is similar to gas, but the atomic particles are charged rather than neutral. |
| Sublimation | The transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state. |
| Physical change | A change to the physical—as opposed to chemical—properties of a substance; they are usually reversible. |
| Chemical change | Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance; usually irreversible. |
| Vaporization | The process in which a liquid boils and changes to a gas. |
| Evaporation | The process in which a liquid changes to a gas, below boiling point. |

| Volume | Refers to the amount of space an object takes up. |
| Properties | A characteristic or trait that you can use to describe matter by observation, measurement, or combination. |

| Weight | The force acting on an object due to gravity. |
| Variable | Anything that can change or be changed; any factor that can be manipulated, controlled for, or measured in an experiment. |
| Hypothesis | A proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation. |
| Test | Under controlled conditions, something that is made to demonstrate a known truth, or examine the validity of a hypothesis. |
| Validity | Refers to how well a scientific test or piece of research actually measures what it sets out to, or how well it reflects the reality it claims to represent. |
| Range | The lowest to the highest value of your data is called its range. |

| Table | An arrangement of data in rows and columns |
| Substance | A particular kind of matter that shares the same properties. |
| Scientific method | A method of research in which a problem is identified, relevant data are gathered, a hypothesis is formulated from these data, and the hypothesis tested. |
| Independent variable | What the scientist changes or what changes on its own (e.g. age). |
| Dependent variable | What is being studied/measured (e.g. height at different ages). |
| Control variable | A person, group, event, etc., that is used as a constant and unchanging standard of comparison in scientific experimentation (e.g. if a temperature is unchanged during an experiment, it is controlled). |
